"Boger, a barrister and teacher, recounts his travels abroad

to Southern Asia and China, which whetted his appetite for big

game hunting. In 1907, he journeyed to the Rovuma River on

the border of Tanganyika, then went via the Zambesi River to

Northeastern Rhodesia on an extended hunt. He bagged waterbuck,

roan, and sable, but was unlucky with lion. Nearing the Luangwa

River, he collected elephant and rhinoceros. In 1909, he returned

to Africa, this time hunting in Uganda for Buffalo and elephant."

[Czech, An Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game

Hunting Books, 1785 to 1950, p.20].
