This special re-print edition of Freeman and Salvin's book "Falconry: Its Claims, History and Practice" has not been available to fans of falconry since it first appeared on the scene back in 1859. The demand for this rare book has brought forth the much needed reprint of this famous classic falconry work. Falconry: Its Claims, History and Practice will shed considerable light on the history of the management of hawks and falcons for the sport of falconry, including age old techniques.
