In the 1920s and 1930s, hunters and sportsmen in the U.S. had over-hunted quail. In response, a group of prominent businessmen established the More Game Birds In America Foundation, and began to support farmers interested in breeding and raising quail, popularly known as the Bobwhite. The Preface states that at the time of writing, “the price of hand-reared birds is $10 a pair and none to be had.” The full Table of Contents can be view in the pictures.
