Great illustrations of horses, hounds and the sort of people who rode after the fox in Regency England. While Napoleon triumphed in Europe, George Osbaldeston (1787-1866) was master of hounds at Brasenose College, Oxford, itself an institution with a notable sporting reputation. At the dawn of the railway age in 1831 he famously rode 200 miles in less than nine hours. It was a time when men were gentlemen and horses were transportation. The Squire was the best Sportsman of any age or Country.His greatest fame was as a master of hounds. His greatest failure was when he left the chase for the turf and lost more then 200,000 pounds in money of that day on racing. A fascinating story of his life & escapades. Truly a book for the Sportsman with wonderful illustrations. Twice Signed.
