Horn of the Hunter: The Story of an African Safari
by Robert C. Ruark
Published by Safari Press, 1993. Very good hardcover, in very good dustjacket. Tight binding, solid spine, clean unmarked text. Illustrated, 8vo, 315 pages.
Ruark's most sought-after book. In the early 1950s famous newspaper columnist Robert Ruark and his wife, Virginia, went to British East Africa (now Kenya and Tanzania) for a nine-week safari with their professional hunter, Harry Selby. The three of them, along with a group of native runners, a Jeep, and an old lorry, ventured into the bush for an adventure none of them soon forgot-and neither will you! In this book Ruark shares with you the ferocity of the wounded buffalo and the acid sweat of fear-no other book will give you the "feel" of Africa like this one can.
