The Perfected Poultry of America G E Howard

Written in 1907, this classic reprinting of T. F. McGrew and G. E. Howard's famous work "The Perfected Poultry of America", contains over 250 pages of information devoted to the best known chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and other poultry that were raised in the United States at the turn of the last century. Over 100 breeds of poultry are treated, including many that are now rare. Lavishly illustrated with the many original black and white engravings that graced the original edition, each breed is introduced to the reader with notes on each, as well as their sub-varieties. Highly recommended. One of the best historic books on poultry ever published in the United States. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
