[Rarebooks] FS: 2 Early Pheasant Farming Classics

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

A pair of early books on pheasant farming, offered as a lot for $60 net, 
ppd.

“Pheasant Farming”

By ‘Gene M. Simpson.
Published by the Oregon Fish and Game Commission in 1914.

Eugene Simpson and his wife were pioneers in the field of farming 
pheasants, and his first booklet on the subject was published around 
1906, with a second edition in 1908, and then this version, which was 
written and published after he became a game bird specialist for the 
newly-formed Oregon Fish and Game Commission. All three of these early 
editions are quite difficult to find in the marketplace, this 1914 
edition seems to be the hardest to find.

Softcover. 6.5”x9.5”, 50 pages, black & white illustrations. The covers 
have some light wear and some soil (please see the photos, above and 
below). The book itself has some minor wear, an "Oregon Bird & Pheasant 
Farm" stamp on the title page, and some period ink-written notes about 
raising pheasants on a rear blank page.
