Page, Thomas Nelson: The Long Hillside. v1. 25 Apr 2014
Thomas Nelson Page (April 23, 1853 – November 1, 1922) was a lawyer and American writer. He also served as the U.S. ambassador to Italy during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson, including the important period of World War I.
Excerpt There do not seem to be as many hares now as there used to be when I was a boy. Then the “old fields” and branch-bottoms used to be full of them. They were peculiarly our game; I mean we used to consider that they belonged to us boys. They were rather scorned by the “gentlemen,” by which was meant the grown-up gentlemen, who shot partridges over the pointers, and only picked up a hare when she got in their way. And the negroes used to catch them in traps or “gums,” which were traps made of hollow gum-tree logs. But we boys were the hare-hunters. They were our property from our childhood; just as much, we considered, as “Bruno” and “Don,” the beautiful “crack” pointers, with their brown eyes and satiny ears and coats, were “the gentlemen’s.” This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
