Once in awhile I get a reminder of what a gem I picked out when I married my bride of 57 years. Last weekend she went to a local book sale and she picked up a copy of Capstick's Africa for the princely sum of $3.00 with giving it to me in mind. What a wonderful gift for a husband who spends too much time and money pursuing the critters, and is away at hunting camp way too much. Maybe this will quench my thirst for the waters of Africa, but I think not.

He's the writer that started my obsession. You've a good wife.

I love this book. Also Sands of Silence. nice wife!

Only read Death in the long grass and I absolutely loved it!, so have a couple of clients that I shared my book with when they came hunting with me, I really don't care how much of the book was exaggerated or not, the man had a fantastic talent with words and story telling, I still re read it from time to time and still there is nothing that makes me long for my chance to hunt africa except the hunting reports in this forum, great books!

PHC is who really got me interested in African hunting. A great writer and story teller. Did he take liberties telling us about his experiences? Maybe, maybe not, who cares. I think some of his writing helped revive African hunting and got some of us to go.
