Czech (Dr Kenneth) An annotated Bibliography of African Big Game hunting Books, 1785 to 1950, page 174, 'This excellent book includes the author’s adventures hunting elephant in various parts of Rhodesia and Portuguese East Africa: "An elephant often screams when he comes for a hunter, but not always, for I have seen one come on without making a sound except with their feet as they rustled through the grass." Of additional interest, are his chapters on early elephant hunters, recent (circa early 20th century) hunters and even a passage on hunters killed by big game.'
