The descriptions of the African landscape, the great 
African plains in comparison with the bad lands of 
Wyoming, the solitary rides which he took across 
the veldt and his wise observations on the animal 
life, his description of the tropic storms, the pen 
pictures of the native tribes, the life of the pioneers, 
the many visits to Mission stations, and the thrill 
and adventure embodied in his account of track¬ 
ing with enthusiasm and persistency the greatest 
game in the world—the elephant, lion, rhino, hippo, 
buffalo, the giant eland, and the many varieties of 
antelope—all these make this the greatest book of 
adventure, of hunting experiences and scientific 
observation of nature combined, that has been 
written about Africa. Besides all this the author is 
the most commanding figure of the present day 
and the typical American man of action.
