Additional Information
A rare first edition copy of this book which is intended to give some idea of the great game of North-Eastern Rhodesia, the characteristics and habits of the various animals, and the experiences which attended me in that country last year. To this narrative I have added information for visitors and sportsmen who propose visiting the territory, and also some account of the natives of North-Eastern Rhodesia. I have no doubt that some of my views on the African native will be very severely criticized, but it has been my express purpose in the following pages to set forth an honest account of what I saw and what befell me on my wanderings, and to record the impressions which I gained. If these are at variance with those of some who will read this book, I can only trust that they will not attribute to me any other motive than the main guiding principle which I have endeavoured to preserve throughout these pages, and that is to give a true and faithful account of what may be observed in Central Africa today, and to record certain convictions I have gained after not a little consideration of what I have seen and been told by reliable authorities. The photographs contained in this book were either taken by my companion, Mr Dillon Leonard; by my head hunter boy, Tom; or by myself.Please note that we reserve the right to close our auctions at any time.
