Frederick Selous was the hunter and naturalist whose African travels made him a legend, and who was killed in action in German East Africa in 1917, aged sixty-five. His friend John Guille Millais, a naturalist himself, follows him from schooldays through elephant hunting beyond the Limpopo, the Matabele wars, and his precise field notes on African wildlife.
For readers of exploration and natural history, though its view of hunting and empire belongs to 1918. Download the free EPUB.
