Animal Life in Africa

In his chapter on the lion, Stevenson-Hamilton describes a gruelling duel between Harry Wolhuter, a ranger of the game reserve, who used a hunting knife to slay a lion which was attacking him. There are numerous other incidents of hunting game both by the author and other sportsmen in Africa.’. 539 pp, 6 maps – 2 folding, Original red cloth, somewhat worn, silver titling on the upper cover and spine and an outline map of Africa.
