GreybeardBushmanSten Cederrgren's book
The Adventures of a vagabond Hunter.
What a life he led.
I just got my copy of Peter at Bunbooki (Sic) Books and it is one of the better African autobiographies that I have read. I'd rate it as abot 8/10.
Worth the money ($67-00, roughly)

Ted GorslineI met Sten once at the home of Ian Piercy in Zimbabwe. I heard a funny story about him. I don't know if its true. I heard that he retired from professional hunting at the age of 84. He had been running 12 km a day up until then. He is very slim.
But he got bored. So he started hunting with old clients again at age 86 on the condition that if they hunted with him he could take a mid day nap.
VBR,
Ted Gorsline
