George Bird Evans
We recommend any of the books written by the late George bird Evans. He was the founder of the Old Hemlock English setter, and was an avid hunter, writer, artist, and lover of setters. His books are out of print, but can be easily found at amazon.com
Mr Evan's books are a great read even if you are not a hunter. He has wonderful insight into the mind of these beautiful dogs.
Old Hemlock Foundation
This booklet is inexpensive, and written by a veterinarian. Great method, easy to follow. We have had a lot of success using the plan in this book. Can be purchased at amazon.com.
This foundation contains and strives to preserve the legacy of George and Kay Evans on their 230 acre West Virginia property known as Old Hemlock. Mr Evans wrote prolifically about upland hunting and the English Setter breed. Further, he established his own line of "Old Hemlock" Setters

The Real Ryman Setter : a History
