History
Heneage Finch was a British aristocrat and friend of the Prince of Wales. Finch enjoyed many outdoor pursuits, and in his social circle was nicknamed 'Sporting Joe'. The Aylesford Scandal, a British Society scandal of 1876, as well as financial difficulties, led to Finch leaving the United Kingdom to become a cattle rancher in Big Spring, Texas
