Thormanby

Kings of the Rod Rifle and Gun - with 32 Portraits and Illustrations - Vol I Thormanby

Originally published in 1901 in two volumes. The well illustrated contents of volume one contain detailed chapters on: The Fathers of Angling - Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton - Colonel Thomas Thornton - Joe Manton - Rev. W. B. Daniel - Colonel Peter Hawker - John Holt - Christopher North - The Cokes of Holkham - Lord Kennedy - Captain Horatio Ross - R. G. G. Cumming and Sir Humphrey Davy. Many of the earliest field sports books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
