Description :

Client's father was a big game hunter from Alaska who hunted in the Americas and Asia. These books are from his reference collection. Note that unlike his other books, these are about Africa - per client's father "The only thing I would shoot in Africa is a camera - hunting should be a match of wits with tracking and physicality, not riding around in a jeep and shooting things."

THE GAME ANIMALS OF AFRICA by R. Lydekker. Hardcover. 1908, Rowland Ward Ltd. (London, UK). 484 pages. Written by a zoologist & naturalist, this is a comprehensive guide to large and small animals in Africa including rhinos, elephants, leopards, etc. Contains hunting & habitat information as well as good quality plates compared to books of similar vintage. In used condition, but hard to find first edition.

TRAILS OF THE HUNTED by J.L. Clark. Hardcover. 1929, Chatto & Windus Publishers (London, UK). 269 pages. Foreword written by Kermit Roosevelt. Covers large animal game - mostly in Africa, but on some other continents, too. Lots of illustrations. Condition is used, but still in ok shape. Note signature on flyleaves and title page.
