A real potpourri of big game hunting experiences, Leveson
describes his adventures hunting various antelope in the Limpopo
and Zambezi districts of Southern Africa, then transfers his attention
to lion, rhinoceros, buffalo, and elephant hunting. The sporting
reminscences are a combination of his own and others including
Jules Gerard, Gordon Cumming, and William Cornwallis Harris [Czech,
An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books, 1785-1950, p.96).
Beautiful full-page plates.
