Linguist, a professional soldier, and hunter par excellence, he was mauled by big game on four separate occasions. This book, which features a foreword by Theodore Roosevelt--is Stigand's immortal account of 13 years in the African wilderness--mostly hunting elephants. A preeminent elephant hunting title, this details Stigand's big game hunting efforts primarily in British East Africa, North Eastern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, and the Lado Enclave. He includes chapters on hunting rhinos, buffalo, and lion, but relates his encounters with the elephant with particular interest.
