Black and white photo Illustrations This title was number ten in the Legends of the Longbow series. The introductory note states ''This book portrays a truly adventurous Howard Hill. The filming of the hunts described herein allowed for the finishing of his movie, The Last Wilderness. While this was in the works, Warner Brothers contracted him to do the bow and arrow shots necessary for their new movie, Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn (who wrote a foreword for the book). From this, a new man emerged, Hollywood had touched him! He was always looking for new horizons and followed the challenge of Art Young and Saxton Pope -- a safari to Africa. Out of this came the movie Tembo. Through the years many have tried to emulate Howard Hill. But it isn't enough to simply be a good shot, hunter, bowyer and all around good guy. There will never be another Howard Hill.''
