Written in the 1950s, Hunter recounts the career of John A. Hunter, a
professional big-game hunter and former chairman of Tanganyika National
Parks. J A. Hunter led a life of adventure, but, perhaps, the most
astonishing tale in this book is his incredible adventures while hunting
rhino. As a game ranger, he was ordered by the Tanganyikan government to
clear out dozens of rogue rhinos from the area around Makueni, and the
accounts of his experiences are spine-tingling. Hunter hunted throughout
East Africa-for bongo in the Ituri rain forest (former Zaire), lion in
Masailand (Kenya), and the man-killing buffalo near Thomson's Falls with
his favorite dog (Kenya).
