How it works

Register

The author and his son proceeded on a long journey to Tanganyika for a wide variety of game before heading to the hunting fields of southeast Asia. In the Muthianga Hills, elephant and buffalo were bagged, with numerous rhinoceros taken in the Endowash area. Lion and leopard were collected in Masai territory as well as a selection of plains game. His second sporting trip was to Annam (Vietnam), where he combines hunting thrills with liberal doses of sightseeing. Near the Song Gieng River in Annam, he bagged several tiger. There are additional hunts for banteng and sambur. In his opinion, "the finest and best gun in the world is a Grade A double rifle of London make." Original orange pictorial cloth, small bump to upper corner. Previous owner's bookplate on front pastedown. Well illustrated with numerous text photos. The dust jacket shows two sealed tears at spine are rear board, and a pair of scuffs with loss on the spine. The book itself is quite clean and tight.
