Hunting Reminiscences

"Hunting Reminiscences" by Sir Alfred E. Pease, is a trip back in time through a series of personal hunting memories from the 1800s. It's like sitting around a fireplace listening to stories about horseback riding, the rush of drag hunting, and the thrill of steeplechasing. The book captures both the excitement of the chase and the relationships between people, horses, and dogs. It opens with tales from the author's college days, focusing on experiences with the Cambridge University Drag, where he paints vivid pictures of racing across fields, studying hunters, and the funny things along the way. It’s not just about the sport, but the friendships and shared experiences that made it memorable, bringing to life a sporting world from long ago.
