Publisher's Synopsis
This special re-print edition of Frederick H. Ayres' book "The Leghorn of the Past and Present" contains a treasure trove of information on the legendary Leghorn Chicken breed written by one of the pioneers of this breed. Written in 1878 and said to be the first book ever pubished on Leghorns, the rarity of original copies has brought forth the demand for this much needed reprint of this important historic work on Leghorn Fowl. Included in this short text are the fine details on the history of the Leghorn breed in the United States. A truly one of a kind book. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
