Giants Of The Forest African Hunting Adventures
Author: W.S. Chadwick

GIANTS OF THE FOREST African Hunting Adventures By W. S. CHADWICK ILLUSTRATED THE BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY PUBLISHERS INDIANAPOLIS KINO LKO PREFACE THIS book has been compiled from material pub lished in four continents during the past eighteen months, and at the request of many South African readers who have written kindly letters of interest and ... more »appreciation. While hoping it may prove of general interest, I particularly invite the attention of natural history students to the various traits in the larger fauna wherein my description differs from that given in some standard works. Each incident is related as it actually occurred, and the conclusions drawn are based on the experiences of twenty-five years in close contact with the wild life of Africa. Capt. Arnold Wienholt, D, S. 0. M. C., author of The Story of a Lion Hunt, wrote in the Brisbane Itcdly Mail as a preface to my lion stories These stories are the best I have read, with the possible ex ception of Selouss and I have read all I could get Captain Wienholt visits Africa every two years, and last year lived for seven months alone in a district bordering the Kalahari. He has both shot lions and studied them, and is a competent critic. A Dutch editor who has commissioned me to write PREFACE a school-book series of Nature stories, recently ad mitted that even in South Africa and especially among the younger generation a lamentable igno rance exists concerning the African fauna. Owing to the conditions under which alone observation is possible, observers are likely to grow fewer with the passage of time, and it is hoped therefore that this contribution may not be without value. The book has been compiled as the stories were written for serial use under camp conditions during a Rhodesian rainy season while time has been limited by my engagement to conduct an American hunting party this season. To these facts, and my limited journalistic experience, defects in construction and technique must be ascribed. On those grounds I ask the indulgence of the critical reader. My grateful thanks are due to the following periodicals for consistent kindness and encourage ment during my initial essays in free-lance journal ism, and for their courtesy in allowing me to include in this volume material that has appeared in their issues Cape ArguJs, Cape Times, Brisbane Daily Mail Pictorial Weekly London , Field and Stream New York, Sydney Sun, Game and Gwi Lon don, Wide-World Magazine London and New York, Weekly Scotsman and Answers.
