Elijah Parish Lovejoy
American Clergyman
If I have been guilty of no violation of law, why am I hunted up and down continually like a partridge upon the mountains? Why am I threatened with the tar barrel? Why am I waylaid every day, and from night to night, and my life in jeopardy every hour?
Quote examples

American Author
Most chartreuse recipes call for one bird, a fat one, like a pigeon or a partridge, secreted inside the casing, a vegetable mold, which is then turned out onto a plate.

I love partridge and duck casseroles, and have been known to hunt my own game. It's important to eat off the land where possible.
