This special re-print edition of Duckworth's "The History, Progress and Comparative Merits of the Hereford Breed of Cattle" is considered one of the most important works ever published on this famous breed of Cattle. First published in 1865, this work on Hereford cattle, has not seen the light of day since its early publication. Included are details on the early history of Hereford Cattle dating back into the 18th Century. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
