Editor's note: 'The Hunting Blackbeards Of Botswana edited by Brian Marsh (2007) is the story of three generations of Blackbeards who have hunted and guided in Botswana. The Blackbeard name was brought to Africa by Francis Blackbeard, a silver and goldsmith from England who came to Africa with his family in 1820. In 1879, his son Samuel left to go to the Bechuanaland as a trader. Dennis Blackbeard was one of Samuel's sons who became a professional hunter running safaris in Botswana. Both Dennis's sons, Gavin and Ronnie, became professional hunters as did Gavin's son, Luke Blackbeard.'(https://www.shakariconnection.com/brian-marsh-books.html)
