This book contains an essay entitled "The Chamois" by W. A. Baillie-Grohman. It was first published in the second volume of Clive Phillipps-Wolley''s 1894 book, Big Game Shooting and contains a wealth of information on hunting the chamois, a small goatlike bovid indigenous to the mountains of Europe. From tacking and traversing its habitat to shooting and other useful details, this volume contains much in the way of information that will be of utility to modern hunters. "The Chamois" is highly recommended for modern readers with a practical interest in hunting and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
