The autobiography of Major P.J. Pretorius C.M.G. D.S.O. and Bar with a foreword by Field-Marshall J.C. Smuts

First Edition: 232 pages, frontispiece portrait, 2 maps, 30 illustrations, foxing on the page edges, red cloth, dust jacket slightly worn at the edges, now preserved in a protector.

Editor's note: Major Pretorius was an explorer, hunter and traded in the African hinterland. 'During the East African Campaign of the First World War the writer became a hunter of men, and his unequalled knowledge of the ground over which operations were conducted rendered his services most valuable to the British. Despite his military exploits, it is as a big-game hunter and explorer of secret ways that Major Pretorius will be remembered primarily.'
