Product Description

Product Description

Today, the Lunesdale and Oxenholme Staghounds are consigned to history and for the most part forgotten. The deer they chased, including Lion and Mabel, have gone to that great rutting ground in the sky. The horses, among them White Wine and Lionel, push up the grass instead of grazing it, and the sound of the horn and halloa has been replaced by the rumble of traffic and the high-speed train. Using material written at the time, this book tells the story of the Lunesdale and Oxenholme Staghounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Times soon to be forgotten?, 20 July 2011
By 
This review is from: The Lunesdale & Oxenholme Staghounds - A History (Kindle Edition)
As Trevor Hughes reminds us in his foreword - "If history teaches us anything it tells us who we are and how we got here. By recording events like this [Ron Black] is leaving a legacy for future generations to study, begin to understand and hopefully learn from".
Using old newspaper reports and long forgotten books, pamphlets and brochures this book vividly recalls meets, long runs, social events and the local characters, illustrated with photographs of the time. Well researched - an interesting read.

5.0 out of 5 stars History Made Interesting., 2 Aug 2011
This review is from: The Lunesdale & Oxenholme Staghounds - A History (Kindle Edition)
As in the first review I quote Trevor Hughes "the author is leaving behind a legacy for future generations to study,begin to understand and hopefully learn from" Hopefully present and future students will be encouraged to read social and local history,as well as that of the kings and queens and wars and treaties of the past.

It is noticeable in his introduction that the author has great respect for the hunters and the hunted.
The first two chapters CJC takes us through about a century of hunting hare and deer in a pleasant easy style.Interesting to compare with the hunting on foot. There is mention of barbed wire and potholes which are still problems in my neck of the woods.

The extracts are well chosen and researched. The author's links are interesting and helpful. I compared my wages in the early 60s with those of the hirelings in the 20s. I worked in a four star hotel during Augusts for £6 pounds a week plus a room (cupboard?) and wonderful food. Good wages but I think the percentage between workers and guests staying for the hunting and fishing around the glorious 12th hadn't altered much. The book is obviously a team effort which the author fully acknowledges. A pleasure to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lunesdale and Oxenholme Staghounds (A History), 2 Aug 2011
By 
This review is from: The Lunesdale & Oxenholme Staghounds - A History (Kindle Edition)
A concise and informative account of a pack of hounds from 1880 to 1939 who operated in the South Lakes and were followed by the minor gentry of the area. Well put together and good value
