Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Big Game of Africa This volume is not only a narrative of my own wanderings and experiences in that continent, but is also intended to be a guide book to those many who are interested in the life and habits of the African game animals as well as in the best way of stalking these with either camera or gun. For in the many good books on hunting in the Dark Continent, little or nothing has been said that may help the would-be African big game hunter in the selection of the proper outfit, guns, cameras, curing materials, etc., nor do they give him any definite information as to where, when and how to secure the game he wants, and none of them contains the most necessary introduction to the ki-swahili language, even a slight knowledge of which will prove of immense help to the sportsman when hunting in British East Africa, German East Africa and Uganda. This book is the result of my own experiences and observations during three different expeditions to British East Africa, and con tains the most reliable information I was able to obtain from other sportsmen and professional hunters, as well as from the wild sons of that wonderful game country who, themselves, spend most of their lives roaming around among the Big Game of Africa.

But up to the time of the visit to Africa of which this book is the record, I had never been fortunate enough to be in a position to Shoot a lion, although most of the other Wild beasts commonly met with had come within range of my riﬂe. Naturally, I have always felt a desire to complete my experiences by adding to my collection of trophies that of the King of Beasts.

Here I propose only to relate matters Of sport as they occur to me, without Obliging myself to follow their chronological order. I shall guard myself against the desire to make the reader be present at the death Of my 500 victims, which would be very monotonous to him; for, after all, though circumstances may vary, the result Of a hunt after wild animals is always the same. There will be found in this volume, therefore, only the principal episodes Of my most recent years in hunting, with the addition Of some notes on the habits of African fauna.

'africa is not yet fully explored, and although during the last half - century that great continent has yielded up innumerable secrets of zoology, the discoveries of recent years suggest that forms of animal life, at present unknown to science, may still be awaiting the. Naturalist and the hunter in the remoter and still unknown regions of the interior. It may, however, be claimed that, concerning known species, as much information as it is possible to comprise within the limits of one stout volume is to be found within the following pages. This information has been conveyed in a reasonably popular form, and the non-scientific reader should have little difficulty in laying his finger quickly upon the facts of which he may be in search. It should add to the interest of readers to know that the great bulk of the book has been contributed by well - known African sportsmen, who have had intimate personal experience of the animals of which they treat. These experiences have often extended over a space of many years - Mr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Game of British East Africa Civilisation is advancing with such rapid strides in British East Africa that year by year it becomes more difficult to find and observe game still undisturbed by the sportsman and hunter. Another generation and perhaps there will be little or no opportunities of observing these animals as they existed before the net of civilisation had been drawn round them. It thus behoves anyone who has had the fortune to be thrown much with wild and unsophisticated animals to leave as careful a record as possible of their ways and manners of living while there is still opportunity, and to study them in their natural state. It is this consideration which has induced me to attempt the task of describing the wild life of the country to the best of my ability. I quite realise that I am not specially qualified for the work, and that there are many with greater experience of the country and game than I possess. However, I hope that perhaps in later years, when the lion no longer roars over the plain and the rhino has ceased to wander in the open, that this book, in conjunction with many others of a similar nature, may be of some little value in reconstructing what will then be past natural history.

My only apology for offering to the public The Big Game of Africa is my desire to comply with the wishes of many friends, who, having heard my lectures on Africa, have repeatedly asked me to issue something like them in book form. This volume is not only a narrative of my own wanderings and experiences in that continent, but is also intended to be a guide book to those many who arc interested in the life and habits of the African game animals as well as in the best way of stalking these with either camera or gun.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two African Trips: With Notes and Suggestions on Big Game Preservation in Africa The descriptive chapters in this volume deal with the modest events of two holiday trips in Africa, one in British East Africa, the other in the Soudan. In each case I spent a little over a month in a good game-district, shooting, photographing, and travelling gently from camp to camp. These pages are little more than a transcription of my field-notes which I have put into a permanent form for the benefit of friends who are interested in the same subjects as I am. With these I have combined reproduc tions from some of my photographs which seemed best to illustrate the daily incidents of such journeys and the characteristics of the people and wild animals which I encountered. In fact, it would be better described as a picture-book than a volume of travels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The questions involved in' their w diffusion over the earth are among the vital ones that confound the ethnologist. Their origins are lost in the unwritten history of the child hood of man. Mancala is a game that is remarkable for its peculiar distribution, which seems to mark the limits of Arab culture, and which has just penetrated our own continent after having served for ages to divert the inhabitants of nearly half the inhabited area of the globe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Game Animals of Africa The work in its present state can only be regarded as a preliminary attempt to give something like a complete account of. The game-fauna of the African continent; and it is certain that many alterations and, it is hoped, many additions - will have to be made in future editions. Two points in connection with the African continent demand brief mention firstly, its enormous area, about four times that of India and, secondly, the marked distinction of the fauna of Africa north of the Sahara, or north of the tropic of Cancer, from that of all the vast region to the southward of the same. Northern Africa is, in fact, so far as its animals are concerned, a part of Europe. We have, for instance, in this area such groups as deer, sheep, goats, and bears, which are conspicuous by their absence from the rest of the continent, except so far as sheep and goats have penetrated some distance into the highlands of the north-eastern corner. On the other hand, what may be called the characteristic African animals are to a great extent wanting from the tract north of the Sahara. Africa south of the tropic of Cancer is conveniently called Ethiopian Africa, or simply Ethiopia. The local differences in the Ethiopian fauna are chiefly dependent upon what naturalists call station. One of the most marked of these local faunas is that of the great equatorial forest-zone. The Cape fauna likewise presented many peculiarities in the days of its prime; while the fauna of East Africa shows a certain approximation to that of India. Except that a few occur in Syria and Arabia, the antelopes and most of the other herbivorous big game animals of Ethiopian Africa belong to types unknown elsewhere. Exclusive of the gazelles, the antelopes, for instance, are generically distinct from those of other lands; while giraffes, okapi, hippopotamuses, wart-hogs, bush-pigs, forest-hogs, and ant-bears are unknown elsewhere at the present day.

So many are the books constantly published upon this great continent, that my only excuse for adding another to their number is my unwillingness that the large and important territory of which, in the course of the following pages, I have attempted a brief and inadequate description, should longer remain, as it has too long remained, in that condition of partial illumination which is, so to speak, neither light nor darkness; and if, in no matter how small a degree, I have succeeded in directing the attention of those interested in African matters to this interesting and important region, I shall feel that my effort has not been fruitless.

Financially East African travelling has this advantage, that you know the expense beforehand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Central African Game and Its Spoor This handbook is intended as a help or guide to the young or inexperienced sportsman who intends making a hunting trip to Central Africa. Spoor cannot be put on paper to exactly resemble the real thing. In drawing these spoor the outlines have been well defined, and it must be noted that they are taken from picked specimens (distinct impressions in the soil). As may be surmised the finding and sketching of these spoor and dung has cost not a little time and trouble, and in the case of the lesser known or scarcer animals much questioning of native hunters before the information has been deemed reliable enough to be put on paper. It will take months, and perhaps years, of hard experience to tell at a glance to what animal a footprint belongs, and the authors themselves have often felt the want of some fairly reliable handbook while in the field, especially on going to a new country and meeting with species they have not seen before. Before one can question a native a certain knowledge of the language is necessary, and this in itself takes much study. The authors, therefore, have given the native names of the different game. Many of the ideas and conclusions put forward by the authors may not meet with the approval of perhaps older and more experienced sportsmen, but at the same time they are the result of experience. And differences of Opinion concerning the habits of animals arise between most sportsmen, no two holding exactly the same views. It will be noticed that the words generally, often, or usually are of frequent occurrence in describing the habits of animals. We think it the greatest mistake to say that any animal will do this or that. As the behaviour of no two animals is any more alike than that of two human beings. Moreover the same animal may have totally different habits in different localities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Drummond The experiences upon which my book is founded ex tended over a period of some five years, ending in 1872 (though one or two incidents belong to a prior period), during which time, to all intents and purposes, I lived amongst the natives and the game, rarely, except when visiting the colony to dispose of cattle or hides, and to lay in a fresh stock of goods, sleeping under other covering than that of heaven, with the distant muttering of the lion or the mournful howl of the prowling hyena as my lullaby; and I can truthfully say, that the memory of those five years, spent in that wil'd land under the shadow of the Southern Cross, is a very pleasant one.
