Four Centuries of Sport in America, 1490–1890 by Herbert Manchester offers a sweeping historical journey through the development of sporting traditions in America from the earliest days of exploration to the late 19th century. This richly illustrated volume explores the evolution of hunting, fishing, shooting, and other outdoor pursuits that shaped American culture and identity over four centuries.
With detailed narratives and period artwork, Manchester delves into the social, technological, and environmental changes that influenced sport and recreation—from Native American hunting practices to colonial game laws, frontier adventures, and the rise of organized sports.
