This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... Preface TO The Masters Of The United States And Canada And To The Readers Of This Volume: -- Some years ago, the perusal of a book edited by Sir Humphrey F. de Trafford, Bart., entitled "The Foxhounds of Great Britain and Ireland," led the authors of this volume to think that a similar publication, which would tell the histories of the packs of the Western Hemisphere, would be welcomed as supplying a chapter heretofore lacking in the annals of the sport, and serve to bring the hunting men and women of both countries into closer touch with one another. From Oregon to Virginia is a far cry, and no one who has not come in personal contact, as it were, with the Hunts throughout the country can realize the difficulty of getting together the material for this book. Most of the packs have been in existence a comparatively short time and many of them have kept no records at all. Up to the present time no accurate list even of the Hunts and their Masters has been extant, and though data concerning the more important ones have been published from time to time, they were so fragmentary that the authors venture to hope that this volume will prove useful to their fellow sportsmen throughout the country. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the Masters of Hounds of America and also the Hunt Secretaries who have, almost without exception, co-operated with us by sending data and photographs and by re-reading and correcting their respective articles before they were sent to press. We wish also to tender our gratitude to the following authors from whose writings we have drawn much useful information: -- Mr. Ralph N. Ellis, late Master of the Meadow Brook, for his article in "The Book of Sport," published by Messrs. J. F. Taylor & Co., Mr. George E....

Foxhunting with Meadow Brook on Long Island, New York, was always about more than the fox, the hounds, or the horses. Meadow Brook was about its people—some powerful, some idle, many wealthy—and their shared joy in galloping across beautiful country, only minutes outside New York City. Doomed from its 1881 conception, the Meadow Brook hunt managed to survive for ninety years in spite of poor scenting, sandy soil, angry farmers, quirky millionaires, trolleys, trains, automobiles, and airplanes. Foxhunting withMeadow Brook tells the story of the people who, for almost a century, rode behind the Meadow Brook hounds.
