This guide to falconry dates to mid-19th century Britain, and
explains both the history and practical elements of using birds of
prey to hunt wild animals. Raising and training intelligent birds
of prey to hunt animals was popular in Europe from the Middle Ages
onward. Over the centuries, techniques and practices were refined,
with the peculiarities of the various birds used - be they
peregrine falcons, goshawks, sparrow-hawks or otherwise -
investigated by generations of enthusiasts. This history is
detailed and supplemented with the author's own practical
experience and advice. Gage Earle Freeman was a clergyman who spent
some years assigned to India. As a lifelong enthusiast of falconry,
Freeman was impressed to behold the practice in India; a culture
where hunting with birds of prey had been a tradition for
millennia. As an experienced falconer, Freeman was able to put the
skills he'd honed on Buxton Moor in England to use in India - his
talents met appreciation, and he received birds as gifts.
