This is a special re-print edition of "The Dove: An Example of Attachment to Home". Published in 1849, this book examines the ability of the pigeon or dove to find its way home. Written by the staff at the New York General Protestant Episocal Church, this is one of the earliest essays on the subject of the homing instinct of the pigeon. Included are many historical examples of the unique ability of pigeons to find their home from long distances. A marvelous historical view of Homing Pigeons through the ages. 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.
