Book Description (Paperback, 2007). (1881) 2007 reprint. Large 8vo paperback (168 x 242mm). Ppxvii,455. B/w plates & text illustrations by J. Smit, E. Whymper, and Miss A.B. Selous. Slight tanning but a very good copy. "A narrative of nine years spent amongst the game of the far interior of South Africa. Containing accounts of explorations beyond the Zambesi, on the River Chobe, and in the Matabele and Mashuna countries, with full notes upon the natural history and present distribution of all the large mammalia." "Since Baldwin's book upon African hunting appeared, now nearly twenty years ago, no work has been published which can be considered in any way as a guide for men who are about to visit the interior of South Africa in search of sport, and would wish to know the state of the country at the present day from a sportsman's point of view. This want I hope that the present volume may to some extent supply, for as during the eight years I have led the life of a professional elephant-hunter, my pages are naturally chiefly devoted to the ferae naturae, amongst which I have been constantly living. Some of my conclusions with regard to lions, rhinoceroses, or other animal, may differ from those arrived at by other men equally competent to give an opinion; but, at all events, they are the result of a long personal experience of the beasts themselves, and have not been influenced in any way by the often unreliable stories of 'old hunters'." A classic in its genre. . Seller Inventory # 58960
