The first book published by The Boone and Crockett Club founded by Theodore Roosevelt and George Grinnell, who declared in their Editors Note: "Hunting big game in the wilderness is, above all things, a sport for a vigorous and masterful people. The rifle-bearing hunter, whether he goes on foot or on horseback, whether he voyages in a canoe or travels with a dog-sled, must be sound of body and firm of mind, and must possess energy, resolution, manliness, self-reliance, and capacity for hardy self-help. In short, the big-game hunter must possess qualities without which no race can do its life-work well; and these are the very qualities which it is the purpose of this Club, so far as may be, to develop and foster." A bit outdated as to the equipment they used, this book is nevertheless an intense look at the west in early days, and at the beginnings of the conservationist movement in America. Each chapter focuses on a different animal, from buffalo, mountain goat, elk, pronghorn sheep, grizzlies, etc., indigenous peoples, different areas like the Rockies and Yellowstone, and it still captures the essence of the spirit of the hunt. The book ends with a list of the club's original 100 members, a veritable Who's Who of Generals, Colonels, Doctors, Senators and Representatives, amongst them that most illustrious Gen'l William T. Sherman. ( ~ Michele Fry, read by LibriVox Volunteers)Copyright Animals and Nature Genre アート 文学史・文学批評 衛生・健康的な生活 身体的病い・疾患

    2026/07/31
    Bert's Treatise of Hawkes and Hawking by Edmund Bert delves into the art and science of falconry, exploring the relationship between humans and birds of prey. This timeless work captures the intricacies of training hawks and the profound bond that forms between the falconer and their bird. As the practice of hawking continues to resonate with modern audiences, Bert's insights remind us of the enduring connection to nature and the skills required to master this ancient sport. The treatise not only serves as a guide for enthusiasts but also as a reflection on the patience, dedication, and respect for wildlife that are as relevant today as they were in Bert's time.
