Extracted from Czech (Kenneth), An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books 1785-1999(Trophy Room Books, Agoura, 2011) page 69: “While primarily a description of British East Africa, the author provides considerable information on big game, its location, methods of stalking and the game reserves.
