Horn Of The Hunter: The Story Of An African Hunt
by Ruark, Robert
- Used
- very good
- Paperback
Fawcett Publications, Inc, 1953-01-01. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good/in illustrated wraps. Softcover, 1953 Fawcett Crest 240 pages. Very Good, in illustrated wraps. Minor shelf/edge wear and a touch rubbing to covers. Rear cover has a touch of dust soiling. Illustrated with drawings by the author. No previous owner markings - all pages are age-toned but unmarked. A true African classic. Robert Ruark was an American author, syndicated columnist, and big game hunter. After enjoying some success as a writer, Ruark decided that it was time to fulfill a lifelong dream to go on safari to Africa. Legendary Ker and Downey Safaris booked him with Harry Selby, and Ruark began a love affair with Africa. As a result of this first safari, Ruark wrote a book called Horn of the Hunter, in which he detailed his hunt. Selby became an overnight legend and was subsequently booked for up to five years in advance by Americans wishing to duplicate Ruark's adventures. Imagine a two month Safari into the wilds of Africa in the early 50s. He was accompanied by his wife who hunted alongside of him. Gritty descriptions of the chase and the kill are supported by astute observations on the Africa of the 1950s. Ruark had strong opinions on many of the African tribes. Some he praised,others he condemned and he explains why. If you are wrapped in the fog of political correctness don't bother to read this. As close as you can come to actually being in the bush of that time. There are also deep insights into hunting to be found in this book. He is a master of outdoor writing. Highly Recommended. Handsome vintage paperback copy. LOC SSS-32
