Denis D. Lyell The African Elephant and its Hunters Red cloth boards with gilt decoration on front
Red cloth boards with gilt decoration on front and gilt titling on spine, 221 pages, illustrated with black and white plates. A good ex-library copy, stamps at front and card on inside back, scattered foxing throughout.
"This excellent book includes the author's adventures hunting elephant in various parts of Rhodesia and Portuguese East Africa: "An elephant often creams when he comes from a hunter, but not always, for I have seen one come on without making a sound except with their feet as they rustled through the grass." Of additional interest, are his chapters on early elephant hunters, recent (ca. early 20th century) hunters, and even a passage on hunters killed by wild game." Czech, 2011, p.174
