New York: Macmillan Co., 1913. First American edition. 8vo. xv, (1), 379 pp. Illustrated from photographs, plates. Czech Africa, p. 156: "A pre-eminent 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 rhinoceros, buffalo, and lion, but relates his encounters with elephant with particular verve ... 'there is something so fascinating and absorbing about elephant hunting that those who have done much of it can seldom take any interest again in any other form of sport.'" Still a good solid copy. Original gilt-stamped decorated navy cloth (rubbed, old repair to rear joint). (#7822). Item #60711
