Thirty-Five Years in the New Forest e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I was born at Goldsbrough in Yorkshire in October 1849, and, like many other natives of that county, especially those who bear the same name as myself, I became keenly interested in sport from my very early days. At the age of six I was duly blooded by Charles Treadwell, who was huntsman to the Bramham Moor hounds for twenty-three years.<br><br>I went through the usual course of education at Eton and at Magdalene College, Cambridge. I was never without a ferret at Eton, and generally had at the least a share in a dog. My Cambridge days were, perhaps, the happiest of my life. We had then a very cheery sporting set at Magdalene.
