Czech: An annotated Bibliography of African Big Game hunting Books, 1785 to 1950, page 89, ‘An elusive Rowland Ward publication, this title continues Kirby’s big game hunting adventures in the neighbourhood of the Zambesi and Shire rivers. He bagged kudu, leopard, eland, and buffalo while also shooting hippo and crocodiles. His best chapters cover his experiences hunting elephant in the Chiringoma region. Kirby’s writing style, while quite descriptive, features some exceptionally long paragraphs.’
