Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Shepherd; Being a History of the Sheep: With Their Breeds, Management, and Diseases; Illustrated With Portraits of Different Breeds, Sheep Barns, Sheds, &C That a work embracing perhaps all the topics of the present treatise, has long been demanded by American Wool-growers, cannot be denied. The English, and other foreign works on the important subject of Sheep Husbandry, notwithstanding the ability with which they are written, are unadapted to our wants, chiefly because the breeds of sheep and modes of management are, in the main, so essentially different in our own country and Great Britain. Something American, therefore, is needed - a work which would tend to correct the many errors and abuses of management, and enter into such minute details connected therewith, as would teach the merest novice his duties. With many others, I have long been waiting with the hope that some one having the necessary 2 ctical knoidedge, and in other respects eminently quahfied, would undertake the difficult task of supplying us with such a treatise; but no one having come forward, after due consultation with some friends, on whose judgment I could safely rely, I determined to attempt what, under other circumstances, I could not have summoned the resolution, and I may add, temerity, to do. It is, therefore, with no ordinary degree of apprehension that I appear before the public in the character of an author, and the more especially of a work of this kind, having been obliged, in a measure, to carve out my own way, and act the "lone pioneer."
