Peter Hathaway Capstick, noted hunter and guide, writes of the exploits of some of the world's greatest hunters, past and present. Capstick recalls the extraordinary careers of Colonels H.J. Patterson and Jim Corbett, who stalked legendary man-eaters on opposite sides of the world; of Karamojo Bell, most successful elephant hunter of all time and Sasha Siemel, who tracked great cats armed only with a spear. "With an authenticity gained by having shared the experience of which he writes, Capstick recreates the acrid taste of terror in the mouth of a hunter whose gun has jammed as a lion begins his charge, the exhilaration of tracking, with death all around in the silent places of the wilderness."
