I am hoping that someone can put me on the track of a book/s on Mr Bell and his elephant hunting bewildered. I a quite interested in his method of hunting the large animals with his 7mm. Big Grin


Never rode a bull, but have shot some.

You can do a Google on "The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter", written by Bell.

For those who enjoy reading a good book, but also like to listen to it as spoken word, some of the Karamojo Bell books are coming out as audio books next year.

As Dennis Finch-Hatton said - "Stories were meant to be told and listened too, not read."

Yes and it's not cheap.
I was looking for the (triptyque) 3 books in a coffret, but I let down, no way to find some for a sensible price.

The manuscript was edited by Townsend Whelen and it was published by Neville Spearman (I think it was)of London several decades ago. Good read.
