About This Item
(Tulsa, OK: Winchester Press, 1979) 0876913168. 8vo; original red boards, lettered in gilt on spine, with gilt antelope's head to upper board; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xx + 236; photographs. Dustwrapper somewhat foxed and edgeworn, a little tanned on spine panel; earlier owner's book plate to front free endpaper; foxing to edges, endpapers, and very occasionally elsewhere. Good condition. (Czech: Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books 1785-1999, p. 125) "The story is told by a highly respected professional hunter who knows East Africa well. Brian Herne has, in fact, spent more time hunting in Uganda than any other living hunter ... Many books have been written about East Africa, but nothing in recent years matches this one for its authority on the cradle of the Nile, a vast garden where wild animals reign supreme." - Dustwrapper blurb. "Herne recounts his many years spent as a professional hunter in Uganda. He and his clients bagged a wide variety of game including elephants (one a three-tusker), lion, leopard, buffalo, waterbuck, rhino and other species." - Kenneth Czech .
