How it works

Register

The author completed this work in 1913, but it was not published until after the Great War. Most of the hunting takes place in northwestern Shansi province with wil sheep, wapiti, antelope, and wild boar being bagged. About half of this book is dedicated to his scientific examinations of the region's non-game species, the flora, and geology. (Bibliography of Asian Big Game Hunting Books -Czech)
