A detailed and exciting record of sixteen years spent hunting African elephants and other big game. During ten of these years the author shot 447 bull elephants - a world record.

"One of the true classics of African big game hunting, this work recounts the author's elephant hunting exploits primarily along the Luwegu River in German East Africa, and the Locheringo River in Portuguese East Africa. In addition there are encounters with rhinoceros, man-eating lion, leopard and a variety of plains game. During one elephant stalk, Sutherland's little terrier, Whiskey, survived being thrown into the bush by an enraged pachyderm." - Kenneth Czech.
