Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the British government undertook the construction of the Uganda Railway through East Africa in 1898, harsh criticism from the press, tremendous amounts of money spent, and rebelliousness of the workers turned out to be the least of the government’s worries. Their biggest obstacle came in the form of two ravenous lions with a taste for human flesh, terrorizing the 35,000 laborers building a railway bridge over the Tsavo River. After killing more than one hundred-thirty people over the course of nine months, the lions completely halted construction, as the workers were too afraid to continue. Colonel John Henry Patterson, the chief engineer overseeing the project, then took matters into his own hands. An inexperienced hunter at the time, but a courageous and clever man, he took on the beasts and single-handedly brought an end to their nine-month reign of terror. Patterson’s true account of his gripping and terrifying adventures confronting the lions and overseeing the project termed “The Lunatic Line,” while tackling countless other obstacles, is a must for anyone looking for a thrilling read. With over 100 original photos of the East African lands, native tribes, and wild animals, The Man-Eaters of Tsavo is a true hunting classic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man-Eaters of Tsavo: And Other East African Adventures From the time of Herodotus until to-day, lion stories innumerable have been told and written. I have put some on record myself. But no lion story I have ever heard or read equals in its long sustained and dramatic interest the story of the Tsavo man-eaters as told by Col. Patterson. A lion story is usually a tale of adventures, often very terrible and pathetic, which occupied but a few hours of one night; but the tale of the Tsavo man eaters is an epic of terrible tragedies spread out over several months, and only at last brought to an end by the resource and determination of one man.

Book excerpt: The Tsavo Man-Eaters were a pair of notorious man-eating Tsavo lions responsible for the deaths of a number of construction workers on the Kenya-Uganda Railway from March through December 1898. (Illustrated) In March 1898 the British started building a railway bridge over the Tsavo River in Kenya. The project was led by Lt. Col. John Henry Patterson. During the next nine months of construction, two maneless male Tsavo lions stalked the campsite, dragging Indian workers from their tents at night and devouring them. Crews tried to scare off the lions and built campfires and bomas, or thorn fences, around their camp for protection to keep the man-eaters out, to no avail; the lions leaped over or crawled through the thorn fences. After the new attacks, hundreds of workers fled from Tsavo, halting construction on the bridge. Patterson set traps and tried several times to ambush the lions at night from a tree. After repeated unsuccessful attempts, he shot the first lion on 9 December 1898. Twenty days later, the second lion was found and killed. The first lion killed measured nine feet, eight inches from nose to tip of tail. It took eight men to carry the carcass back to camp. The construction crew returned and finished the bridge in February 1899. The exact number of people killed by the lions is unclear. Patterson gave several figures, overall claiming that there were 135 victims. Patterson writes in his account that he wounded the first lion with one bullet from a high caliber rifle. This shot struck the lion in its back leg, but it escaped. Later, it returned at night and began stalking Patterson as he tried to hunt it. He shot it through the shoulder, penetrating its heart with a more powerful rifle and found it lying dead the next morning not far from his platform. The second lion was shot at most nine times, five with the same rifle, three with a third and once with a fourth rifle. The first was fired from atop a scaffolding Patterson had built near goat kills done by the lion. Two, both from the second rifle were shot into it eleven days later as the lion was stalking Patterson and trying to flee. When they had found the lion the next day thereafter, Patterson shot it three more times with the same rifle, severely crippling it, and shot it three times with the third rifle, twice in the chest, and once in the head, which killed it. He claimed it died gnawing on a fallen tree branch, still trying to reach him. After 25 years as Patterson's floor rugs, the lions' skins were sold to the Chicago Field Museum in 1924 for a sum of $5,000. The lions' skins arrived at the museum in very poor condition. The lions were then reconstructed and are now on permanent display along with the original skulls.

This book was released on 2022-04-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by J.H. Patterson, The Man-Eaters of Tsavo and Other East African Adventures is a semi-autobiographical book. Patterson, a natural narrator, engages us in the horror of the laborers' fear and his own endeavors to track the monster, which would end up killing approximately 130 individuals before Patterson took them out. This real-life adventure will keep the fans of both fiction and non-fiction transfixed. The Man-Eaters of Tsavo describes Patterson's encounters while overseeing the development of a railroad bridge in Kenya. The title of the book comes from the lions which killed Patterson's workers and which Patterson ultimately killed. Following the demise of the lions, the book recounts the bridge's completion despite additional difficulties (like a fierce flood) as well as numerous accounts concerning local wildlife, nearby tribes, the uncovering of the man-eater's cave, and different hunting expeditions. The book has been adapted to film three times: a 1952 three-dimensional film named Bwana Fiend, a monochrome, English film of the 1950s, and a 1996 variety form called The Phantom and the Murkiness. The book also incorporates photos taken by Patterson at the time of railway construction; local tribes; the workers; landscape and wildlife; and the man-eaters.
