This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are interested in the old classics or the modern ones (or both), whether you want to read about Tanganyika or Tanzania, Rhodesia or Zimbabwe, Northern Rhodesia or Zambia, there are literally hundreds of books described to whet your big game hunting reading appetite.Eleven years ago, Ken Czech produced a much needed bibliography of African hunting books, but it only went up to 1950. It was a publishing success but a great number of our customers¿big game hunters, big game hunting book collectors and casual readers of big game hunting books¿wanted a work that included books from the great African hunting era of the 1950s and through the 1990s. In this work, they have been granted their wish. In addition, a number of titles, especially the elusive privately printed ones, came to light. The result, a current, vastly expanded (almost double the number of entries) annotated bibliography that will be appreciated by all big game hunting aficionados and considered essential for collectors, dealers, historians, and armchair safari enthusiasts.This bibliography gives a complete physical description of the books, notes illustrations and presence of maps, and mentions whether the books were issued with dust jackets. In addition, there is a description of the countries hunted, the locale where the hunting occurred and the game bagged. Often the name of the Professional Hunter is included as well.And for those who like stories of exploration and hunting, or pioneer settlers and their adventures as they opened the African frontiers, Ken Czech has included books that contain both hunting and exploration, hunting and settling, and hunting and traveling. After all, the earliest rugged individuals who ventured into the African interior were explorers, soldiers or missionaries who hunted in order to survive. Their tales are every bit as exciting as those of the earliest big game hunters and men who hunted (mainly ivory) for a living.In addition there is a section showing colored illustrations of 32 of the books.All these things combine to make this a work that is not likely to be surpassed for its historical and literary aspects, and general appeal to a broad market segment. From the first stalwart individuals who ventured to Africa, to the more recent groups of intrepid sportsmen who trod the game paths across the Dark Continent, virtually all of those who have recounted their efforts in book form (prior to 2000), are represented here.As North America¿s premier dealer in antiqarian big game hunting books (as well as a publisher of fine signed limited edition African hunting books), we are proud to have published this important work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The image that comes to mind when you think of big game hunters is of African safaris with men carrying enormous guns hunting exotic game. But there were women on those trips as well, and not just the trips to Africa, and they were often as successful at the hunt as the men. Women such as Lady Florence Dixie, Agnes Herbert, Osa Johnson, Grace Gallatin Seton, and Gladys Harriman hunted so well, they made names for themselves and wrote of their adventures. Divided into chapters detailing a specific time period, region hunted or individual woman, With Rifle and Petticoat explores the interesting women who hunted a variety of big game animals around the world.
Download or read book The White Spaces of Kenyan Settler Writing written by Terrence L. Craig and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The White Spaces of Kenyan Settler Writing provides an overview of Kenyan literature by white writers in the half-century before Independence in 1964. Such literature has been over-shadowed by that of black writers to the point of critical ostracism. It deserves attention for its own sake, as the expression of a community that hoped for permanence but suffered both disappointment and dispossession. It deserves attention for its articulation of an increasingly desperate colonial and Imperial situation at a time when both were being attacked and abandoned in Africa, as in other colonies elsewhere, and when a counter-discourse was being constructed by writers in Britain as well as in Africa. Kenya was likely the best-known twentieth-century colony, for it attracted publicity for its iconic safaris and its Happy Valley scandals. Yet behind such scenes were settlers who had taken over lands from the native peoples and who were trying to make a future for themselves, based on the labour, willing or forced, of those people. This situation can be seen as a microcosm of one colonial exercise, and can illuminate the historical tensions of such times. The bibliography is an attempt to collect the literary resources of white Kenya in this historically significant period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1947, this book is considered one of the best ever written on hunting the African buffalo. “John F. Burger, Afrikander and author of this book, would heartily endorse any theatrical effort to simulate the charge of an African bull buffalo—if no human life is to be risked. This notable professional hunter, who is here being introduced to the American public, has miraculously survived to live and tell of many last-ditch encounters with the powerful and crafty buffalo. Mr. Burger’s experiences in the game fields of his native continent cover a period of forty years, and in that time more than one thousand of the massive brutes have fallen to his rifles. As he takes care to explain, only a small number of the animals in that record bag have actually charged; but in that temperate statement there rests proof of his usual success in placing a first, effective hit—the shot that renders a charge improbable. Failure of that first shot, or the effect of factors beyond the hunter’s control, constitutes the explosive cap that can set this specimen of black dynamite into action. Once the buffalo’s charge is actually under way his only objective is to produce a dead hunter. The animal has accomplished his grim purpose in many instances. Too frequently the gored and trampled victim has been a veteran of the trails, not a novice hunter or a defenseless native. In some vitally unaccountable way the buffalo had gained advantages at a rate faster than was allowed the hunter. The man was then denied that last precious asset for survival, luck. Our author lives to tell of his close encounters with the horned death simply because luck never failed to tip the scales in his favor.”

Download or read book Months of the Sun written by Ian Nyschens and published by . This book was released on 2016-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ian Nyschens (pronounced "nations") shot as many elephants as Walter Bell did--well over 1,000--and under much more difficult circumstances. His book will rank or surpass the best elephant-ivory hunting books published in the twentieth century. Remarkably, his adventures took place much later than the likes of Bell, Sutherland, Neumann, and others. The stories of his hunts with his double rifle are sure to impress. Ian's career as an elephant hunter began in 1947 in Southern Rhodesia when he found a companion--Faanie Joosten--and the pair of them started hunting for ivory for a living. They roamed far and wide, often outside of the law, as far north as southern Tanzania and as far east as the coast of Mozambique. But Ian's stronghold was the thick jess bush of the Zambezi Valley, a place he loved more than any other. There, visibility was so poor that sometimes a hunter could be close enough to touch an elephant with the barrel of his rifle before he could see it. Ian's life was one fantastic epic adventure after another. He once faced a stampede of seventeen furious elephants in reeds over twelve feet tall and had to shoot a "wall" of elephants to prevent him and his companions from being overrun. On another occasion Ian and Faanie developed a method of hunting crocodiles for their skins that entailed walking chest-deep into the Zambezi River at night. They would stand next to an anchored hippo leg and "brain" the crocs. In the end that got a bit too much even for Ian, and he gave it up as being too hazardous. Ian was married for a time, but his lifestyle was not conducive to domestic bliss, and the marriage did not last. Once the Kariba Dam was completed in 1959, it flooded a great deal of his beloved Zambezi Valley, and Ian's world began to shrink. He continued to shoot elephant under the control scheme set by Rhodesian authorities, but his footloose days were at an end. He joined the wildlife department as a game ranger for a while, but his unsociable character made for a short career. He shot most of his elephants with a Rigby .450 31⁄4. He used the Rigby so much that the barrels separated from use (the solder disengaged), and he had to send it back to London to have it repaired. Not many people use a double rifle to that extent! Ian Nyschens was the most notorious elephant poacher in Rhodesia until the time he was finally appointed a warden to help protect the game. This is a highly entertaining story of an irascible loner whose violent adventures make Jesse James sound like a Sunday school teacher! Footnote: Sadly, Ian Nyschens died on 6 December 2006 in Harare, Zimbabwe. May he now tread in the eternal hunting grounds where all elephants carry tusks of a minimum of eighty pounds per side. Farewell old friend, you will be missed by many.
