Czech (Dr. Kenneth) An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books 1785 - 1999, page 235: In this little known work with considerable big game hunting content, the author travelled though the Zambesi Valley hunting elephant and leopard near the Chewori River. Deep in the heart of elephant country there was a wonderful fascination in lying awake at night listening to the movements of the great beasts in the surrounding bush and by the sounds visualising their progress through the dim aisles of the trees… branches broken as the animals fed, rang the pistol shots through the night. He canoed along several stretches of the Zambesi with stops to bag buffalo and lion, There is also a chapter on his views on rifle calibers, bullet choice and sights.
