Book
Hardcover. Condition: VG. No Jacket. Author (illustrator). 1st. The front cover carries the title "From the Hudson Bay Company to New Zealand," which appears as the sub-title to "Memories of Sport and Travel Fifty Years Ago" on the title page, while to spine title reads "Memories of Sport and Travel." Written when the author was 83 years old the book is full of adventures, experiences and observation he made in the Canadian Hudson Bay territory as a teen age cadet with the firm in 1874. He returned to England on leave five years later and resumed his association with horses and hounds. While there he met Thomas Russell,"said to be a New Zealand millionaire." Although keen to return to Canada with its "wild North land, the big game and great sport" he was persuaded tp take up Russell's offer of going to NZ to make a detailed report on his "vast properties." He arrived there in 1881 and his tales of exploring rugged and often dangerous areas of NZ on horseback are interesting, engaging and informative, no mean feat for a first attempt at authorship. Hunting and the hounds still called and he was instrumental in extablishing the Waikato Hunt Club and later became Master of the Pakuranga Hounds. Great stories and accounts recalling NZ as it used to be. However, the author is also the main illustrator of the book, with many of his sketches adding to the telling of the tales.
