Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the rise and remarkable impact of the mid-19th-century hen fever epidemic in the United States. Inspired by the high demand in England for the rare and exotic Cochin-China breed of fowl, the author seized the opportunity to capitalize on the craze back home. His imported birds quickly became a sensation, causing a surge in demand for exquisite purebred stock, along with skyrocketing prices, and an outpouring of books and articles written on the subject. However, the speculative fever ultimately burst, as the market became saturated with birds of dubious quality. Written with humor and an eye for the absurd, this revealing book provides a valuable historical account of a curious chapter in American poultry keeping. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331624059_0
