Overview

Fascinated by the call of the wild and much influenced by Frederick Courtney Selous, acknowledged as the African hunter of his day, Theodore Roosevelt finally arranged to take a long safari holiday in East Africa with his son Kermit. The collection of birds and mammals made by the Roosevelt's during this expedition, was presented to the American Museum of Natural History in New York and in Washington. This account of the African veld and of African hunting is written by a man with the experienced eye of a hunter, but one nevertheless, that had caught its first and what was to prove its only glimpse of Africa. The detail, perhaps as a consequence, comes over in a refreshing light and with a charm that is very different to other similar guides.
