The Lost Wilderness. (Signed and numbered first edition. 91/1000 copies)

The Lost Wilderness is the story of Mohamed Ismail's years in Kenya and Tanzania as a game warden and professional hunter. In this book Ismail chronicles the life experiences of five native Africans, who worked with him during his years as a game warden, as well as his experiences as a professional hunter. Read about the most deadly poachers ever seen in the history of East Africa, the best ivory trackers; the most elusive quarry, the East African greater kudu; and Ismail's dangerous hunts after buffalo and elephant.

The pages are filled with the adventurous tales of brave men who always faced danger straight on-sometimes winning against considerable odds and sometimes losing, as was the case of the game warden who was killed by a poisoned arrow from a poacher. Come face-to-face with the other side of the law as you delve into the life of Tura, a notorious poacher whose limp was the result of a buffalo goring. These fascinating and engrossing true-to-life adventures of East African hunting hark back to a time that is now gone forever.

Foreword by Patrick Hemingway, the son of Ernest Hemingway, and preface by Roger Tory Peterson.
