Hunting the Elephant in Africa 



By captain C. H. STIGAND 



With illustrations made from photographs taken by the author. With an 

 Introduction by Col. Theodore Roosevelt 



Decorated cloth, 8vo, $2.50 



For a period of more than thirteen years the author of this 

 work has hunted big game in the jungles of East Africa, Here 

 are told simply and with an attractive modesty, yet dramatically, 

 some of his most remarkable experiences. It is an old-fashioned 

 animal hunting book with real thrills in it and revealing many 

 new points on the habits of the beasts of a wild country. Cap- 

 tain Stigand is no "nature fakir"; his work is consequently a 

 robust one in which is embodied the spirit of the real hunter. 

 Colonel Roosevelt has written an introduction for the volume, 

 which is illustrated by a number of very interesting pictures 

 made from photographs taken by the author. 



"Full of the most thrilling adventures, told in the simple, 

 matter-of-fact style of the sportsman. . . . Captain Stigand's 

 book may be cheerfully recommended both to the hunter and 

 to the naturaHst, and the fact that he writes of wild Hfe and 

 wild people with much sympathy and charm makes his book 

 readable for those who are neither." — Chicago Herald.
