Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Tinney McCutcheon (1870 - 1949) was an American newspaper political cartoonist who was known as the "Dean of American Cartoonists". At the turn of the century he went on a 4 month African safari hunting African big game. Along the way in addition to getting his full share of African big game, he also adopted an orphan baby rhino and met up and hunted with Theodore Roosevelt who was on his famous big game hunting trip.From inside the book:This collection of African stories is a record of a most delightful hunting trip into those fascinating regions along the Equator, where one may still have "thrilling adventures" and live in a story-book atmosphere, where the "roar of the lion" and the "crack of the rifle" are part of the every-day life, and where in a few months one may store up enough material to keep the memory pleasantly occupied all the rest of a lifetime. The stories are descriptive of a four-and-a-half months' trip in the big game country and pretend to no more serious purpose than merely to relate the experiences of a self-confessed amateur under such conditions.CONTENTSI.The Preparation for Departure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An interesting story...one of the most important records of African travel in recent years." -World Review, 1904 "A plain, straightforward account of hardships undergone, difficulties overcome, of indomitable pluck and indefatigable perseverance, and the inevitable ultimate success of sheer doggedness." - Academy Review, 1904 " A permanent and valuable addition to the literature of African travel." -Morning Post In Captain Gibbons'' 1898 book "Exploration and Hunting in Central Africa" we have the story of a man of action, led partly by the desire for big game hunting and adventure, and partly by a laudable desire to make a map, to visit a country which was included in the British Empire, but which had not yet been occupied save by missionaries and occasional big game hunters and explorers such as Livingstone and Selous. In 1896, Alfred St. Hill Gibbons (1858-1916), best known as the explorer of the Upper Zamboni who completed the work which Livingstone had begun, went exploring and hunting among the head waters of the Zambesi and the northern tributaries of that mighty river. His narrative is full of hunting stories, some of thrilling interest. The writer does not claim to be a very good shot, but in two instances he establishes a reputation for steadiness of nerve under the most trying circumstances-namely, when charged on two separate occasions by a wounded lioness and by a wounded buffalo. In describing a run-in with a wounded buffalo, Gibbons writes: "After a short, sharp run both the beast and myself had halted about twenty-five yards apart, I vainly endeavouring to extract a jammed cartridge case from my rifle. It was only just removed as the wounded cow, sighting me, raised her muzzle and, with extended neck and horns thrown back, charged. I stooped down and waited till she was a couple of paces away . . . ." In describing a man-eating lion and his hunting it, Gibbons writes: "In one case he actually removed a reed constructed door from a native''s hut, walked in, seized a woman, and carried her off to his lair in some dense thorn-bush a short way from the mission station. On a previous occasion another woman was taken by him when only a few yards from the stockade. ... A huge lion bounded down the tunnel and took up his position immediately behind the carcase. Mr. Baldwin stood his ground but did not fire, and although the animal was not six feet ...." Captain Gibbons had excellent sport with all sorts, from elephants downward, on the upper reaches of the Zambesi, within a few days'' boating of the potentate''s chief kraal. The buffaloes swarmed; they ran in herds of from three hundred to four hundred, and they found safe refuges in the reedy swamps which were also sanctuaries of the sea-cows. There and elsewhere there were lions in superabundance. The book contains an excellent essay on the country- its character, climate, and prospects, as well as a description of various tribes in the Barotse Empire. Gibbons also authored another book on his explorations in Africa: *Africa from south to north through Marotseland Gibbons'' "Exploration and Hunting in Central Africa" is a well-regarded historical source, being cited in the following modern works: *Fire-Eaters: Blacksmiths and the Products of the Forge in Pre-Colonial Zambia, Mwelwa C.
