Download PDF Handling And Nursing The Game Cock History Of Cockfighting Series eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. HANDLING AND NURSING THE GAME COCK. A COMPREHENSIVE EXPLANATION AND INSTRUCTION ON THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS IN HANDLING AND NURSING GAME COCKS IN BATTLE. VARIOUS INJURIES DESCRIBED AND NURSING EXPLAINED. NATURAL ABILITY OF HANDLER EXPLAINED AS HELPFUL TO SUCCESSFUL COCKER. MANY PRECAUTIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL WINNING OF BATTLES ADVISED. By A.C. Dingwall, Ph.B. Although many "Cocking" titles are available to today's Gamefowl breeders and fanciers, very little has been written on the actual handling of fighting cocks in the pit. The author, with his many years of practical experience, wrote this book to enable his fellow cockers take care of their birds more intelligently during and after battle. It was the first in-depth book ever published on the subject. This unique historical record, published in Chicago in 1928 is extremely scarce and costly in its first edition. READ COUNTRY BOOKS has now re-published it, incorporating the original text and explanatory photographs, as part of their HISTORY OF COCKFIGHTING series. Its 80 pages contain the following detailed chapters:- Handling Preliminary to Battle. - Qualifications of a Handler. - Precautions in Handling. - Nursing for Couples. - Nursing for Rattle. - Neck Blows. - Fatigue and Exhaustion. - Blind or Blinked. - Runaways. - Broken Wings and Legs. - Throat Cut. - Brain Blows. - Random Pointers. - Worthwhile Reminders. etc. The publishers have also included the original blank battle record pages bound into the rear of the book. Many of the earliest sporting books, particularly those dating back to the 1800s, are now extremely scarce and very expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS are reprinting these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions. These editions are republished using the original text and artwork.

Download PDF Why The Cocks Fight eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. Like two roosters in a fighting arena, Haiti and the Dominican Republic are encircled by barriers of geography and poverty. They co-inhabit the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, but their histories are as deeply divided as their cultures: one French-speaking and black, one Spanish-speaking and mulatto. Yet, despite their antagonism, the two countries share a national symbol in the rooster--and a fundamental activity and favorite sport in the cockfight. In this book, Michele Wucker asks: "If the symbols that dominate a culture accurately express a nation's character, what kind of a country draws so heavily on images of cockfighting and roosters, birds bred to be aggressive? What does it mean when not one but two countries that are neighbors choose these symbols? Why do the cocks fight, and why do humans watch and glorify them?" Wucker studies the cockfight ritual in considerable detail, focusing as much on the customs and histories of these two nations as on their contemporary lifestyles and politics. Her well-cited and comprehensive volume also explores the relations of each nation toward the United States, which twice invaded both Haiti (in 1915 and 1994) and the Dominican Republic (in 1916 and 1965) during the twentieth century. Just as the owners of gamecocks contrive battles between their birds as a way of playing out human conflicts, Wucker argues, Haitian and Dominican leaders often stir up nationalist disputes and exaggerate their cultural and racial differences as a way of deflecting other kinds of turmoil. Thus Why the Cocks Fight highlights the factors in Caribbean history that still affect Hispaniola today, including the often contradictory policies of the U.S.

This Ecuadorian short story collection explores domestic horrors and everyday violence, a "grotesque, unflinching" portrait of twenty-first-century Latin America (Publishers Weekly). “Ampuero’s literary voice is tough and beautiful at once: her stories are exquisite and dangerous objects.” —Yuri Herrera, author of Signs Preceding the End of the World In lucid and compelling prose,María Fernanda Ampuero sheds light on the hidden aspects of home: the grotesque realities of family, coming of age, religion, and class struggle. A family’s maids witness a horrible cycle of abuse, a girl is auctioned off by a gang of criminals, and two sisters find themselves at the mercy of their spiteful brother. With violence masquerading as love, characters spend their lives trapped reenacting their past traumas. Heralding a brutal and singular new voice, Cockfight explores the power of the home to both create and destroy those within it.

Download PDF Sport In The Olden Time History Of Cock eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. Originally published in London 1912, this rare early work on cockfighting is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. We are now republishing it using the original text and artwork, in a high quality, affordable, modern edition. The author was a well known sportsman, equestrian expert and farmer, who wrote many books on these and other related subjects. No pastime has ever held in England the position which was held for centuries by cockfighting. It was, to quote the title of an old treatise, "the pleasure of Princes." It was practised by the highest of nobility and by the humblest peasant. Love of "cocking" permeated society from top to bottom. This well researched book on Cockfighting has 129 pages and contains detailed information on: - Early Cockfighting. - History. - Various Kinds of Mains. - Artificial Spurs. - Training. - Game Fowl Breeding. - Fighting Rules. - Famous Cockers. - Superstitions. - Cock-Pits. - Feeding. - Illegal Cockfighting. - etc. It also contains interesting full page illustrations of Game Fowl and cockfighting equipment. This is a fascinating read for any Game Fowl enthusiast or historian of this now illegal "sport." Many of the earliest sporting books, particularly those dating back to the 1800s, are now extremely scarce and very expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
