Publisher's Synopsis
This special reprint edition of "Directions For Breeding Game Cocks" was written by J. Barker, and was first published in 1804, making it a true antiquarian text at more than 200 years old. Covering a contentious and controversial subject, this book gives valuable historical context and is republished here without judgment. Cock Fighting has been part of the culture on several continents, and although outlawed in most places, is actually protected by international law in some regions as inherent to the culture of the indigenous people. A rare text that will be a valuable addition to the libraries of all who are interested in the history of game breeds, or in poultry breeding history in general.
