An account of Donovan's duck-shooting, big-game hunting and tiger-fishing experiences as he moved northwards en route to Fort Victoria. Once there he responded to Dr Jameson's appeal to repel the Matabele who were raiding the local Mashonas. He gives an account of the events of 1893. "His comments on the first military engagements in Rhodesia, and the effects of modern arms on the combatants make a meaningful contribution to the early records of the Occupation" Front endflap.
