About the author
Carl Dare is an author about whom very little public information is available; details such as his nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background cannot be verified. What can be confirmed is that only one work by him survives, namely Profitable Squab Breeding. As the title suggests, the book focuses on profitable methods of raising squabs, placing it within the practical literature on poultry keeping and agricultural management, aimed at readers hoping to earn income from pigeon rearing. Works of this kind are typically practical and clearly organized, addressing concrete matters such as feeding management, breeding techniques, and marketing. Although little is known about Dare himself, this book remains a useful reference sample for readers studying early writings on pigeon breeding and reflects the character of practical agricultural writing of its time.
