During the nineteenth century, British Army officers brought packs of Foxhounds with them to India to pursue the hunts they loved back home, but it was expensive for regiments to maintain their hounds, so local hunt clubs were established. In 1870, the Peshawar Vale Hunt was founded in northwest Pakistan and became the most famous hunt around. At first, hunts were mostly drag hunting in which the hounds followed a scent trail laid by a rider dragging smelly material, but as the sport grew, hunts went after jackals. The Peshawar Vale Hunts were exceptional for their pace, distance, and the countryside covered.

Prelims foxed, spine faded, boards marked.
