"Muirhead earned a living poaching elephant particularly in the Belgian Congo
and in Portuguese East Africa. His encounters with big game are numerous, and
his writing style is quite lively. Besides big tuskers he also relates his adventures
with lion and buffalo. As he notes, An elephant-poacher leads a hard life and earns
all the ivory he gets.” (Czech, An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game
Hunting Books 1785-1999, p.205).
