Book Description
Frederick Courteney Selous (1851-1917) was a British explorer, hunter and conservationist, and is most remembered for his activities in Southeast Africa. Selous explored lesser-known areas, where he recorded ethnographic notes and collected specimens. ‘Big Game Shooting’, published in 1894, is an anecdotal account that chronicles his experiences of hunting the lion in South Africa, and offers a personal insight into late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century game hunting practices. It would suit anyone with an interest in the culture of hunting from that period, from the historian to the enthusiast. This vintage text is being republished in a high quality, modern and affordable edition, complete with the original artwork and a specially written concise biography.
