Book Description
One of the lesser known works about India by the eminent Victorian explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton, Falconry in the Valley of Indus is not just a book on the once-popular sport of falconry, it is a significant recording of the culture of Sindh. In this lively narrative first published in 1852, Burton reveals the mores and manners of the landed gentry in Sindh while providing the gory details of a sport they practiced with passion.

Book Description
This special re-print edition of the 1852 Edition of Richard F. Burton's book "Falconry in the Valley of the Indus" has not been available to fans of falconry since it first appeared on the scene in the 19th Century. The demand for this rare book has brought forth the much needed reprint of this famous classic falconry work. Falconry in the Valley of the Indus will shed considerable light on the history of the management of hawks and falcons for the sport of falconry, including age old techniques as they were practiced in early 19th Century India and Pakistan. Chapters include The Untimely End of Khairu The Hobby, The Hawks Used in Scinde, A Day With the Shikrah, Reclaiming and Manning The Hawk in Scinde, A Day With The Basah, Training The Hawk in Scinde, A Day With The Shahbaz and more. This hard to find to find text offers a fascinating look into the practice of Falconry in Colonial India and Pakistan. Note: This public domain 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. This edition is reprinted in accordance to Federal Law.

Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ... After the murderous act above detailed, nothing seemed to prosper. Twice a covey of partridges rose and the Shikrah was sent in full pursuit, when a second hawk was inadvertently slipped, so that the danger of their "crabbing"* became imminent. And the quantity of cursing that accompanied these mishaps, instead of acting more Europeo as a sedative upon the cursers, exercised, as it usually does upon the Asiatic mind, all the proper functions of a stimulant. "The beasts have now brayed their full," whispered Hari Chand in my ear; "another minute and the kicking will begin. Are they not Belochies? With your Highness's permission I would remain at a certain distance, for these asses' foals never mind what they assault in their skittishness, provided that they can find some employment for their heels." Resisting my valorous Moonshee's proposal to "pad the hoof," I determined to act as a "friend of order," and, thanks to study of the native character, my benevolent efforts were crowned with success. Whilst the Ameer, too sullen to interfere, stood looking on apparently in hope of a row, I walked up, compelling Hari Chand to follow me, and, selecting the weaker party, began to "tell them of their faults" as the members of * When two hawks fight they are said to "crab." high-spirited English families love to do, that is to say, to overwhelm them with pointed and personal abuse. The tone of voice, a gruff base, like the basso cantante of an orchestra, withdrew attention from the rattling treble of the vocalization around. Mammu ceased to scream at Fauju; Mammed* forebore to reproach Ali with the sept pechts mortels, and Umar contented himself with internally yearning, instead of openly praying for, sudden death to descend upon the head of...
