A really old collectable African Hunting book
THE LARGE GAME by the Hon. W.H. Drummond 1845-1879, Copy no. 491 of a limited run of 1000..First published in 1875. Mine is a facsimile reprint dated The Pioneer Head, Salisbury, Rhodesia, 1972...Given to me by the father of PH Philip Price some many years ago..419 pages of awesomely exciting hunts.

Talk about roughing it...sleeping on a grass matt, eating what you shoot, picking up black water fever, Malaria and in the bush for years at a time..Shooting Buffalo, elephant, and Rhino, Lions, Leopard, the whole enchalada with a couple big muzzle loaders that you could use for a shelter if need be..His hunting of Rhino was one hell of a deal, how this man survived to write a book is beyond all that holy..

Since I have no idea of the value of this book I wonder what the value of such a book might be?? Its in decent shape and has the original cover with some tears. I know it would have to be a lot of money for me to part with it..

I'm jealous
I'll try to find it


" Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.
When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move...
