Fox-Hunting (Classic Reprint): As Recorded by Raed: As Recorded by Raed (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
A breezy, era-spanning look at a boys’ misfit venture into American fox-hunting and outdoor life. This lively memoir follows a band of young friends as they swap old world yachts for a rugged New England and Maine setting, chasing foxes, plotting schemes, and surviving winter’s mischief with humor and grit. Filled with playful banter, daring stunts, and unforgettable scenes, it paints a vivid portrait of youth, friendship, and the lure of the chase.
From ambitious plans to transform a rough schooner into a stylish yacht, to late-night misadventures on moonlit hills, the book blends curiosity, courage, and comic mishaps. The narrative moves through brisk winter outings, wild coastings, and close calls with nature, including encounters on snowscapes, ice roads, and the ever-present risk of a fox-hunt gone awry. Along the way, it offers a window into social dynamics, schooldays, and the charm of a bygone outdoor culture, told with wit and a light, engaging voice.
- Follow youths as they pursue a grand outdoors life, balancing pride, practicality, and humor.
- Experience vivid Maine landscapes, snow, ice, and the dare of winter fox-hunting.
- Meet a cast of characters navigating friendships, pranks, and small triumphs on and off the trail.
- Get a front-row view of early American outdoor adventures and the nostalgia of a sociable, roaming circus of youth.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical travel memoirs, outdoors-and-adventure stories, and richly described 19th‑century youth culture.
