MERE INFO:
Elgin Gates is a legendary figure among big game hunters. His life story reads like an adventure novel, and his non-hunting accomplishments are nothing short of remarkable. Besides being one of the greatest hunters who ever picked up a rifle, Gates was also highly literate, well-read, witty, descriptive, and clever in his story telling.
IHis descriptions of his hunts provide the reader with a lot of imagery, flavor, and background. It's not overly technical, or overly descriptive - just enough. Some of the stories are hilarious, and many are intriguing. Some of the characters he ran into just couldn't be made up.
This book has a place on the bookshelf of every hunter who has ever dreamed of going to Africa on safari.
