"An officer in the King's African Rifles, Wilson mixed

military activities with sport. En route to an assignment

on the Nile, he bagged his first elephant. Along British

East Africa's Mara River, he collected roan antelope, eland,

and lion and hunted buffalo from a machan. His best chapters

recount his elephant hunting adventures near Nimule on the

White Nile. As Wilson notes, 'I personally find an elephant easier

to kill than a snipe, but then I'm a vile shot with a scattergun'
