Signed, first edition, foxing to paper stock as published under war-time restrictions.condition: very good.
The author was the first warden of South Africa's Sabi Nature Reserve, which was expanded under his watch and became Kruger National Park in 1926. Consequently he is considered the instigator and founder of the Kruger National Park .
He was known as Skukuza, a Shangaan name meaning either "he who sweeps clean' or 'he who turns everything upside down', by his staff at Kruger National Park. Dr Henri Phillipe Junod, an expert on the Tsonga people, interpreted the name and attitude with which it was given, as follows: 'As the Tsongas were early inhabitants of this part of the Lowveld, the name Skukuza - the broom (taken over from the Zulu), reflects clearly the Tsonga's bitterness at being deprived of their dwelling place by Stevenson-Hamilton'.[ see Lot 12]
. Stevenson-Hamilton remained with the park until his retirement on the eve of his 80th birthday in 1945.
