Originally published in 1912. Snowden Slights was better known as "The
Last of the Yorkshire Wildfowlers". This well illustrated book contains
many fascinating reminiscences of his life: The Derwent Valley - Punts
and Punt Shooting - Guns, Dress and Dogs - Wildfowl and Wildfowling -
Punt Gun Shots - Flight Shooting - Flight Netting - Decoys - Salmon and
Eel Netting - Lamprey Netting - Eel Trapping - Birds of the Derwent
Valley, etc. Many of the earliest field sports books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the
original text and artwork.
