Hardcover. Tallahassee FL, Sentry Press, 1st, 1989, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 224 pages, b&w photos. Signed by Rogers and inscribed by Kate Ireland, owner of Foshalee plantation, on the title page. Foshalee Plantation is a historic quail hunting estate located in northern Leon County, Florida, approximately 12 miles north of Tallahassee, within the Red Hills region spanning the Georgia-Florida border. Originally encompassing around 11,500 acres, it was established in the early 20th century as one of the oldest continuous private quail preserves in the area, transformed from former cotton lands into a managed hunting retreat for northern elites. The plantation, associated with prominent families including the Whitneys, Clarks, Irelands, and Ingalls, emphasized bobwhite quail production through practices like prescribed burning and multi-aged forest management, reflecting the broader shift in the region from agriculture to sporting conservation after the Civil War.
