This review is from: Fourteen Years in the African Bush: An Account of a Kenyan Game Warden (Hardcover)

I liked this book so much that I just ordered two additional copies to give to two friends with similar interests. Its an easy read. No slow spots. The author seems to be very objective and realistic. The stories do not seem to be embellished, nor do they seem to be a celebration of the author's greatness as a hunter. The author was a student of his trade and therefore experimented with various shot placements and various calibers during his fourteen year career as a Kenyan Game Warden. The thing I enjoyed most was piggybacking off of his learning process regarding shot placement and cartridges. I have read a half-dozen or so books of this type and this is by far my favorite. I also very much enjoyed Taylor's book, but this one is a little more current -- 1950's and 1960's. If the allure of the African Safari has grasped you, this book will too.
