The book contains the recollections of one of the most noted big game hunters and explorers of Africa originally published in 1913. The book will appeal to every lover of wilderness adventure and every person who values the observations of an excellent field naturalist. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
