Five Years of a Hunter's Life in the Far Interior of South Africa

Gordon -Cumming Roualeyn

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Whatever on those occasions I witnessed worthy of at tention, I noted in my journal while the impression was yet fresh in my memory; from this journal the follow ing work is almost literally transcribed. Written nu der such circumstances, the reader will not look for the graces of style. The hand, wearied all day with grasp ing the rifle, is not the best suited for wielding the pen. If I have in simple language given pleasure to the sportsman, or added one page to the natural history of Southern Africa, or to our knowledge of its tribes, I shall think myself amply repaid for my many wander ings and watchings in a wild and savage land.
