Tina: It was listed as used-like new, but was in excellent shape. It was packaged very well, and we will be giving it as a gift. We highly recommend Western Sport Shop. Thank you

Jeremy: One gifted author! I love hunting and this book just invokes that passion and humor that comes with being in the outdoors. At times you feel like you are right there with him.

PawpawAmazon Customer: This is the kind of story that I read to my three children when they were young. Now we relive those times by reading them to my grand children.

Amazon Customer: One is drawn into another era in which the lives of men lived and died following their passions for the hunt. Cap stick has that way with words to make you feel as though you were there beside the hunters as they pursued their dreams

Alex: I am a big fan of Capstick. If the subject area is of interest to you then you really can't get a better author than Capstick. His books are interesting well written and humorous. This isn't his best book but is definitely worth a read.

Kindle Customer: Another enjoyable read in the riveting style Capstick is known for. If you enjoyed any of Capstick's "Death in _____" series of books you will enjoy this. The only negative is that Capstick doesn't give enough about each of the exciting adventurers that he immortalizes. Each of these adventurers could have a book written soley on their lives and some have. Still a good primer on some of the famous names of old Africa.

G. Yendrey: I first began reading Peter Capstick's series of books on African / Safari hunting shortly after the first one was released around 1980. From what I've read on the internet since, his popularzation of Safari and Arican hunting was a major factor in rescuing a moribund hunting/travel industry in Africa. I can well believe this, since his books have made a Cape Buffalo hunt a life time dream of mine, even if I never get to go.

I was saddened to learn of his health problems and death, not finding out until years after the fact. Whatever his personal failings, which some have been far too eager to expound upon since his death (but not before), Peter painted a picture of an emerging Africa at the time of his writing that illustrates both the allure of hunting that continent and the social/political hurdles that continue to frustrate Western expectations.
