Muldoon was an Agricultural Officer in Northern Nyasaland. This is his story of driving a scattered herd of marauding elephants away from the cultivated lands where they came for food in a National reserve              these are tales of discovery: of the ingrained habits of animals and men     of loyalty and sacrifice, cowardice and stupidity in white men and natives alike               of devotion, insane courage and sheer cussedness in elephant, leopard and hyena. And it's the story of a hunter, not a proud but a patient man.
