New Edition, no date - circa 1889 (the first edition was published in 1879 - see publisher's note); the spine and endpapers have been renewed, with original spine laid down, and original boards and stitching remaining; 340 pages. The contents are in very good condition with the first and last few pages a little foxed.

Although this book is titled 'Among The Zulus' it contains many chapters of hunting exploits, hence the categorisation. With a total of 27 chapters, at least seven recount the hunting exploits of Hans, including  encounters with elephants and lions. Other chapters detail his imprisonment by the Matabili, attacks by the Matabili, The Boers' Camp, the Boers' Battle with the Zulus, a solitary hunt in the bush, Simon's Bay, Mutiny of the Slaves, Game found on the islands, etc...
