"A prolific sporting author, Chapman combined fluid writing style
with his exciting experiences hunting in British East Africa.
He followed the Uganda Railway, with hunting excursions
toward Lake Elementeita and also westward to the Enderit
River and along Lake Nakuru. On a 1904 hunt, Chapman
describes his trek across the Athi Plains. There are plentiful
hunting experiences including lion, waterbuck, rhino, elephant,
gazelle, eland, kudu, and buffalo. The illustrations are plentiful
and come from photographs and the talented pen of Edmund Caldwell [Czech,
An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books, 1785-1950, p.35]."
