Cunninghame, with Frederick Selous playing a walk-on part. The expedition included noted zoologists of the day and Roosevelt's son, Kermit. "Their journey proceeded largely on foot via numerous sidetracks to Lake Victoria. After crossing Lake Victoria, the party hunted in Uganda before heading north to the Lado Enclave and then on to southern Sudan. After descending the Nile, the Roosevelts emerged from the darkest sections of the great African continent in Khartoum on March 1910." Roosevelt wrote an account of the expedition in installments as the expedition proceeded, published contemporaneously by Scribner's Magazine. Chapters include: A railroad through the Pleistocene; On an East African ranch; Lion hunting on the Kapiti Plains; On safari, rhino and giraffe; Juja Farm, hippo and leopard; A buffalo hunt by the Kamiti; Trekking through the thirst to the Sotik; Hunting in the Sotik; To Lake Naivasha; Elephant hunting on Mount Kenia; The Guaso Nyero, a river of the Equatorial Desert; To the Uasin Gishu; Uganda and the Great Nyanza Lakes; The great rhinoceros of the Lado; Down the Nile, the Giant Eland.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : New. Bound in full dark-brown leather, extensive decorative gilt stamping on cover and spine, raised spine hubs, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers. Facsimile reprint of 1910 edition. Large thick quarto, 529 pp., with period photographs by Kermit Roosevelt, illustrations by Philip Goodwin, map, appendices, index. The personally-told tales of big-game hunting in equatorial Africa by a wealthy American adventurer who also was President of the United States. In 1909 Roosevelt and his son Kermit, on safari with a band of fellow sportsmen and a retinue of servants, explored Africa's wildest reaches--the "greatest of the world's hunting-grounds"-- looking for exotic big game. They hunted lion--king of the jungle--rhino, elephant, water buffalo, wildebeast, eland and more, but also encountered hordes of "the lower things, that crawl, and fly, and sting, and bite." A simply fascinating, early-twentieth century view into the Africa that has disappeared forever. The book is in unopened, new condition, inside and out. N° de réf. du vendeur 053104aa
