Book cover
Peter Jeffrey Mackie writes in his introduction to The Keeper's Book that "Sport and love of sport is part of the great heritage of our race." He believes that sport and sportsmanship are what keeps society thriving, and is one of our most powerful social forces in this day and age. This book pursues the sport of the hunt and the social interactions associated therein. This particular pasttime requires not only a love of adventure, but also self-discipline, patience, and technical skill. Not only does Mackie discuss the pursuit and conquest of wild animals, but he also describes how to preserve them, covering all matters in great detail. Mackie goes on to cover everything from hunting to angling in astounding detail. Although first published in 1929, this timeless classic is sure to pique the curiosity of anyone interested in hunting and its impact today. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
