Hunting in British East Africa

A wealthy Philadelphian, Madeira and his wife traveled to East Africa in 1907. They hunted buffalo near the Athi Plains, as well as cheetah, eland, waterbuck and other antelopes. Nearing the Tana River, they bagged rhino, hippo, then buffalo again. On the Laikipia Plains, lion and gazelle were taken. During their journey back to the coast, Madeira succeeded in bagging leopard, topi and roan antelope. There were tense hours when Mrs. Madeira became lost in the bush. A chronicle of a true, old-fashioned hunting expedition.

Original dark green cloth with gilt titles and black buffalo head on front board, and gilt titles (a little dulled) and rhino on spine. There are two small dent marks on the spine. The front inner hinge appears to have been repaired at some time. The contents are clean and tight. Well illustrated with numerous photos. The two folding maps in the rear pocket are in very nice condition.
