Roach
Roach - The Gentle Giants is a comprehensive study of the techniques today's roach specialists on both rivers and still waters. Standard methods are thoroughly explained, while exciting modern developments are minutely explored. Drawing on the intimate knowledge of local experts, every major roach venue in Britain is analysed, with discussion ranging from the great days at Hornsea Mere at the turn of the century to the exciting fishing now enjoyed on still waters around the country.
A Texas Cowboy's Journal
In this earliest known day-by-day journal of a cattle drive from Texas to Kansas, Jack Bailey, a North Texas farmer, describes what it was like to live and work as a cowboy in the southern plains just after the Civil War. We follow Bailey as the drive moves northward into Kansas and then as his party returns to Texas through eastern Kansas, southwestern Missouri, northwestern Arkansas, and Indian Territory. For readers steeped in romantic cowboy legend, the journal contains surprises. Bailey’s time on the trail was hardly lonely. We travel with him as he encounters Indians, U.S. soldiers, Mexicans, freed slaves, and cowboys working other drives. He and other crew members—including women—battle hunger, thirst, illness, discomfort, and pain. Cowboys quarrel and play practical jokes on each other and, at night, sing songs around the campfire. David Dary’s thorough introduction and footnotes place the journal in historical context.
Perch
Devastated by disease in the early 1970s, perch are becoming more widespread--recolonizing their former domains--and an interest in perch fishing has re-kindled. Inspired by this new enthusiasm, John Bailey and Roger Miller have produced this, the first major study of the species. The bulk of the book comprises tales of successful perch fishing trips of the 1980s, but there is also a brief history of Perch Disease, advice on choice of rigs and tackles, and information on the use of fish-recorders in perch fishing.
