Brought to you from the Peter Capstick Library. Major W. Robert Foran once killed a lion while "garbed in dinner clothes and patent leather shoes" in the days when it was still possible to meet simba in the streets of Nairobi. He hunted the big five of the dangerous game, experienced many close shaves in the process. Buckley served in the Boer War, and in the British East Africa Police, a paramilitary group that blazed a rough trail through Kenya's early days. He survived injury and disease, and covered Theodore Roosevelt's famous safari for the Associated Press.

With his characteristic color and flair, Capstick recalls the extraordinary careers of men like Colonel J.H. Patterson and Colonel Jim Corbett, who stalked legendary man-eaters through the silent darkness on opposite sides of the world; men like Karamojo Bell, acknowledged as the greatest elephant hunter of all time; men like the valiant Sasha Siemel, who tracked killer jaguars though the Matto Grosso armed only with a spear.
