What is Gamekeeping : an Illustrated History about?

A fascinating and comprehensive book on the history of gamekeeping since the inception of the profession in the late seventeenth century, until the present time. He writes about all aspects of gamekeeping with chapters on training, pay, cottages, gamekeepers in wartime, loaders and loading, lady gamekeepers, gamekeeping throughout the UK, Ireland and overseas, especially in the days of the British empire. There is an interesting section on the moorland gamekeeper which includes the memories of George Grass of Ramsgill. The Author David S D Jones has been an archivist and historian for the National Gamekeepers' Organisation for over a decade. Descended from a long line of gamekeepers, he's keenly interested in shooting and gamekeeping history and has written extensively on the subject of gamekeeping over the past thirty years, contributing numerous articles to all of the major British sporting titles. In addition, he owns the Gamekeeping Photographic Archive and the David S D Jones Photographic Collection, both of which supply historic shooting, gamekeeping and general countryside images to the sporting press.
