Chapman recounts his journey to Khartoum, then up the White Nile into Uganda. He

hunted gazelle in the arid regions of the Sudan, then stalked tiang, hartebeest and roan

near the Sobat River. As he continued up the White Nile, he bagged waterbuck, kob and

lechwe. There are exciting encounters with buffalo, hippopotamus and elephant, the latter

near the Zeraf River. Additional hunting for rhinoceros and eland took place near the

Blue Nile and Dinder Rivers. This copy recently bound in chocolate brown leather with raised spine bands, and gilt titles and spine decorations. Marbled boards. Well illustrated with photo plates and numerous text drawings. Map. A clean, tight, square copy. Handsome shelf presence.
