Neumann was the most famous elephant hunter of his time and led a dramatic and also tragic life. Most of his elephant hunting took place in Kenya and it was here that he was severely mauled by a cow elephant and only because of the care of his native retinue did he managed to survive. On par with both Sutherland and Bell's books but much rarer in first edition. With lustrations by Edmund Caldwell, John Millais and Everett Lodge.
