Falconry: Its Claims, History And Practice is a book written by Gage Earle Freeman and originally published in 1859. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the art of falconry, including its history, techniques, and equipment. The author begins by discussing the claims of falconry, which he argues are based on the unique relationship between the falconer and his bird of prey. He then delves into the history of falconry, tracing its origins in ancient times and its development through the Middle Ages and into the modern era.Throughout the book, Freeman provides detailed descriptions of the various types of birds used in falconry, including falcons, hawks, and eagles. He also discusses the different methods of training and caring for these birds, as well as the various types of equipment used in falconry, such as hoods, bells, and jesses.In addition to its practical information, Falconry: Its Claims, History And Practice also contains a wealth of historical and cultural insights. The author explores the role of falconry in different societies throughout history, from the aristocratic courts of medieval Europe to the nomadic tribes of the Middle East. He also discusses the symbolism of falconry in literature, art, and religion.Overall, Falconry: Its Claims, History And Practice is a fascinating and informative book that provides a unique window into the world of falconry. Whether you are a seasoned falconer or simply interested in the history and culture of this ancient art, this book is sure to captivate and enlighten you.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
