"One of the true classics of African big-game hunting,
this work recounts the author's elephant hunting exploits
primarily along the Luwegu River in German East Africa, and
the Locheringo River in Portuguese East Africa. In addition,
there are encounters with rhinoceros, man-eating lion,
leopard, and a variety of plains game. During one elephant
stalk, Sutherland's little terrier, Whiskey, survived being
thrown into the bush by an enraged pachyderm" [Czech, An
Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books,
1785 to 1950, p.160].
