The Adventures Of An Elephant Hunter With Illustrations

About this book

Originally published 1912. A detailed and exciting record of sixteen years spent hunting African elephants and other big game. During ten of these years the author shot 447 bull elephants - a world record. Many of the earliest hunting books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
