Being An Account Of The Natural History Of The Various Quadrupeds
And Birds Which Are The Objects Of Chase In Those Countries.
Captain Flack, known for his columns in The Field, published this
record of the his experiences of hunting, shooting and fishing in
the Southern states of America in 1866. Starting with an
introduction about the wilderness of the American forests and life
in the western prairies, the book goes on to record the natural
history of mammals and game-birds in the South. It provides graphic
descriptions of the author's encounters with wildlife including
antelopes, bison, bears, wild turkeys, fish, alligators and snakes,
as well as bee hunting. Flack describes the South as the paradise
of the true sportsman. In an appendix, the author provides a guide
to the locations where each kind of game may be found, together
with information about routes and costs. This detailed and
entertaining account provides fascinating insights into Victorian
social history and valuable data on the ecology of the Southern
states at that time.
