Modern Pig-Sticking

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. Nightingale must have been a great Chara he shot several hundred tiger, and speared over seventy bears. His whole regiment, after the quarterly muster parade, spent their days in beating for him. I heard much of him from A, my first General in this country, who, as a youngster, had been a protege of his. His methods, according to A, with a jibbing horse were severe in the extreme. Dealing as I am entirely with modern pig-sticking I write no more on the history of the sport, for I am sure you will find the above brief summary sufficient. Any encyclopaedia will furnish you with such further information as you may require on this point with a greater accuracy than I can claim to. Nor do I attempt to give you details of all the hunting countries from Cape Comorin to Peshawar. They of course vary enormously: some I know.
