Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
One of the rarest books on African hunting is finally available in a high-quality reprint. Major G. H. Anderson was a professional hunter and founder of the East African Professional Hunters Association. This book is regarded as one of the classics on elephant hunting in which the author tells of his elephant hunting experiences in Uganda, British East Africa (Kenya), German East Africa (Tanzania), the Belgian Congo (Zaire), and the Congo. It includes three chapters on the ivory-hunting days of his longtime friend Jim Sutherland; more hunting stories in German East Africa and the Belgian Congo; and a chapter on man-eaters. Anderson shot some very big ivory, including a monster elephant with tusks of 134 and 136 pounds. This reprint includes a new foreword by Tony Sanchez and the original art deco elephant on the dust jacket! A fantastic book for anyone interested in African hunting.

The Old Master,
By
This review is from: African Safaris (Hardcover)
African Safaris is aclassic that has been out of print for quite a while and is now, thankfully, back in print. Anderson went from officer in the 18th Hussars, to coffe farmer, to one of the proffesional hunters for the 1924 safari of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth), to his term as the organizer and first president of the East Africa Professional Hunters Association. Probably of greatest interest is his long lasting friendship with the great Jim Sutherland. This book provides some of the best information on Sutherland, besides his own book. The book covers his early forays into elephant hunting, his wartime experiences, his times hunting with Jim Sutherland, photographic safaris, game besides elephants, and a wonderfull description of what a white hunter should be. This is a wonderfull book that makes the time fly by. It is a wonderfull view into what African safaris were in their heyday.
