Editor's Note: To the Victorians, Frederick Courtney Selous was the greatest big-game hunter of them all. An adventurer from his school days at Rugby right through to his valiant death in the Great War, Selous's pursuit of hazard and excitement was unceasing. His aim was to carve out a living hunting elephant while at the same time exploring new and unchartered territory.
