craggers 36 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 http://sonsofsavages.blogspot.co.uk/ Began reading and sent Ron a note to say how much I was enjoying it. Lots of information plucked from court records and a family history section contributed by Jean Gidman as well as incites from George Stewart all tell the story of Bobby Troughton and his life's desire to hunt Otters. A great read with historical facts depicting a well lived life, touching, humorous, and most of all giving you a sense of life and the hunting of Otters with hounds in 19th century Kendal. It's wonderful how things work sometimes to preserve these small seemingly insignificant closing windows of our past.Thanks to George Stewart for saving this one and to Ron for recognizing it's value and spending the energy and funds.You will be interested to know that Ron has established, "Gone to Ground Books" for the purpose of publishing these small and mighty memories of a hunting past that is sadly slipping into non existence. http://www.gone2groundbooks.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
