Anderdon 7th Nov. 1845" of this colloquy on angling after the fashion of Izaac Walton and Charles Cotton by a noted collector of Walton and Johnsoniana. Anderdon's library included the 1653 Compleat Angler and this discourse between Angler Painter and Host is both homage to the seventeenth-century masters and an attempt to elucidate some of their sources and influences. The author intended it "for the entertainment of a few gentlemen fishers" the work being based on a tour he made along the Dove. The privately printed large-paper edition limited to twenty-five copies appeared in 1845; a trade edition in small 8vo format was published by Pickering two years later. <br /> The inscription is to his wife Anna Maria 1796-1880 the second daughter of William Manning MP whom he married on 4 March 1816. <br /> "Anderdon was an enthusiastic fisherman and a walking tour through Dovedale the country of Charles Cotton one of the earliest professors of the art of angling gave him the idea of compiling a volume on The River Dove: with some Quiet Thoughts on the Happy Practice of Angling. Printed in 1845 for private circulation and for sale two years later it contained many anecdotes of Cotton and his country life with advice on successful fishing" ODNB.

[Bearbaiting in Georgian Derbyshire; Hanoverian field sports]:Biblio.com

Bearbaiting in Georgian Derbyshire. Anonymous manuscript poem titled 'The Bearbaiting' beginning: 'Whoe'er in Derbyshire has been And haply there a Wake has seen Has seen a Bear the Croud's Delight Maintain with baiting Dogs the fight.'

15433Place and date not stated. Derbyshire Late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. Not published. A fair copy neatly written out over 8pp. 4to. 175 lines in heroic couplets. On two bifoliums of wove paper each with hunting-horn watermark of 'G R'. A well-written production with valuable content regarding a loathsome practice which persisted in England until 1835. For example: 'The Dogs are train'd the Day is set All all the neighbouring Clowns are met - The Bear stalks forth pinn'd to his tether Close-join'd his upper Jaw & nether: Unchain'd unmuzzl'd no one knew What his full powers provok'd might do - His Chain the Radii Pin the center He walks the ring which none might enter; He walks and back the Rabble flee Leaving the destin'd Circle free. Now to the Center he retreats While every hear in Silence beats With Wonder! .' To begin with 'Bruin' battles with the 'Curs' who are 'soon dispatch'd He'll give more Sport when better match'd. . His Ear his Snout his Throat they seize He shakes them off he lifts his paw But deigns not to extend a claw - They fall around; or crush'd they die Or crippled sprawl or yelping fly. "The Curs the Spaniels all are gone." Let now some nobler Dog come on.' More dogs die until finally 'Skirnie the only hope remain'd Skirnie to all manoeuvres train'd; Now Skirnie to the Ring is led. They clap his sides they pat his head:'. To the surprise of 'the rabble' dog and bear play together instead of fighting with Bruin playing the part of a soldier with a musket. The Parish Clerk throws a laurel wreath into the ring and the poem ends with the inevitable classical reference. Place and date not stated. [Derbyshire? Late eighteenth or early nineteenth century.] unknown

[Broadside] [Wrestling] [Sports] [Pacific Northwest] [African American]Biblio.com

Illustrated Broadside or Poster Announcing WRESTLING: HOOD RIVER Oregon; Seelie Samara George Hardison Boston versus Jack Forsgren Canada; Albert Carral vs. Bob Kruse

1939505696Hood River News 1939. Paperback. FINE. Printed Red on 11 x 17' white cardstock. We date this poster around 1939 based on martching Hood River News wrestling broadsides with dated newspaper clippings. 'Former location Penny-Wise Store on Heights Hood River.' Some very trivial rubbing to the tips otherwise uncommonly clean and sharp. Top billing heavyweight match features an absolutely yoked and glistening Seelie Samara stage-name for George Hardison an African-American athlete and one of the most prominent characters in the early years of the 'Golden Age' revival of dramatic/entertainment wrestling in America. Hardison was born in Georgia and after a stint as a carnival strongman was scouted by 'Tiger Man' John Pesek who became his boxing trainer. Sometime in the late 30's Hardison began competing in staged Wrestling matches in the Northeast. In 1938 he signed with promoter Jack Pfefer with whom he began traveling extensively; while he was regularly billed in the Midwest and California this broadside is the only record we found of Pacific Northwest appearance. From the early-40's onward Hardison's appearances were confined to segregated 'Race Matches'; he would hold claim to the 'Negro World Heavyweight Championship' belt through the early 50's. Cory Santos writes 'A fan favorite Samara had power and technical prowess in equal measures. His muscularity was unique for the era; his bulging physique was a striking contrast to the bulkier frames of many heavyweights of the period. The Samara character also included costume elements â€” the most noteworthy of which was a Muslim head wrap Hardison used when being advertised from Algeria his most common birthplace or Afghanistan. Still given the huge number of strange hometowns it is difficult to keep track of exactly what character elements are geographically based and which are just random items based on the fanciful imaginations of â€œAfricaâ€ from countless midwestern promoters. But a sense of fair play honor and respect defined the Seelie and variants Ras and Haille Samara characters to audiences. Combined with his impressive physique these virtues earned him lasting nicknames including â€œNegro Herculesâ€ â€œBlack Adonisâ€ the â€œinsert location here Wildmanâ€ and famously the â€œBlack Panther.â€ 'Seelie Samara: A Forgotten African-American Great.'.
