Description
So far America is pretty hostile to everyday hunting - but for some reason we keep adding categories.<br /><br />And lets face it, for a country that keeps talking about how we don't need roaylty, we do seem to keep mimicking aritocrats.<br /><br />the early 19th century loves some fox hunting - so much so that we imported foxes (even though there are plenty already here). Hunting keeps happening everyday - but we like to say it's not cool.<br /><br />Unless you are doing it for leisure... or to earn money.<br /><br />Yes - the early 19th century brings the birth of the Market Hunter - which needed the railroad to create itself.<br />The Buffalo may cease to roam - and the Passenger Pigeon darken the skies by the end of the century - but the seeds of their destruction are planted here... at the start of the 19th cenutry.<br /><br />But worry not, it's not all bad news - you can still get a giant game pie.<br /><br />Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor Turtle<br />Show Notes: <a href="https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/</a><br />Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot com<br />Threads: @THoAFood<br />Instagram: @THoAFood<br />& some other socials... @THoAFood
