Social Life in the Early Republic With Numerous Reproductions of Portraits, Miniatures, and Residences (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Social Life in the Early Republic: With Numerous Reproductions of Portraits, Miniatures, and Residences In nothing were the English characteristics of the Southern settler more clearly shown than in his love of field sports. A Maryland chronicler writes of his countrymen, On horses that seemed almost tireless, and with dogs like the horses, they some times chased Reynard across the eastern peninsula from the Chesapeake to the Atlantic. The return journey and the stops at hospitable mansions on the way took more time than the pursuit of the fox, and the whole expedition sometimes lasted a week.
