Lot Details

Lot 23
[AFRICA-HUNTING] MAKEPEACE, GORDON. Safari Sam.
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1933. First edition. Publisher's blue cloth in dust jacket. 8 1/2 x 5 3/8 inches (22 x 14 cm); 254 pp.; frontispiece, two plates of Safari Sam, the raconteur. Several small losses to jacket, which is price-clipped, but in all a well above average example.
An uncommon and entertaining work. "Makepeace, a journalist, recorded the experiences of "Safari Sam" during a long interview. Sam evidently spent much time in the Northern Rhodesian brush country and relates incidents of encounters with rhinoceros, lion, leopard and crocodile, as well as conversation with a veteran elephant hunter. The frontispiece and plates reveal a bright-eyed Sam in various poses." Czech Africa, p. 179.
