"The Last Wolf Hawker invites the reader to another time and place to experience falconry that will leave the most accomplished eagle devotee awestruck. From vast wilderness forests to desolate Arctic islands, this is the story of Friedrich Remmler (1888-1972), the greatest golden eagle falconer Europe has ever produced, a man who successfully flew his birds to that ultimate quarry - the wolf. With the help of Remmler's family and using his own meticulous notes, this book examines not only how he trained and flew his eagles but also includes translations of his own highly graphic hunt accounts; we join him as he takes fox and Arctic hare, and also delivers a monumental account of the only detailed wolf hunt ever published. Complemented by Remmler's own fascinating photographs, this important volume is both historical record and an absolutely riveting read".
