The History of American Food

158 Are You Rich Enough or Poor Enough to Hunt in the Early 19th Century?


Listen Later

So far America is pretty hostile to everyday hunting - but for some reason we keep adding categories.

And lets face it, for a country that keeps talking about how we don't need roaylty, we do seem to keep mimicking aritocrats.

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.

Unless you are doing it for leisure... or to earn money.

Yes - the early 19th century brings the birth of the Market Hunter - which needed the railroad to create itself.
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.

But worry not, it's not all bad news - you can still get a giant game pie.
