Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of fox hunting in late 18th-century England, as chronicled through the diary of a participant. The author, a keen sportsman, meticulously records the dates, locations, and outcomes of each hunt, providing a rich tapestry of details about the Quorn Hunt, one of the most prestigious packs in the Kingdom. Through his entries, we learn about the strategies employed, the challenges faced, and the camaraderie shared by those who participated in this popular pastime.
