For hunters, listening to the accounts of kindred spirits recalling the drama and action that go with good days afield ranks among life’s most pleasurable activities. Here, then, are some of the best hunting tales ever written, stories that sweep from charging elephants in the African bush to mountain goats in the crags of the Rockies, from the gallant bird dogs of the Southern pinelands to the great Western hunts of Theodore Roosevelt.
There are 20 stories in this collection, and they capture the very soul of hunting. Included, among others, are:
` A Tale of Three Lions, by H. Rider Haggard
- Elephant Friends and Foes, by Carl E. Akeley
- The Mountain Goat at Home, by William T. Hornaday, Sc.D.
