There are few names in African big-game hunting as iconic as that of Brian Marsh. He personally knew such greats as John “Pondoro” Taylor, Peter Hathaway Capstick, and royalty the onetime tracker of the great F. C. Selous. He started out in the dangerous profession of hunting crocodiles for a living in Malawi in the 1950s, and then he moved to Zimbabwe at a time when sport hunting was unknown. His experiences are real, and as his life story unfolds, one would be forgiven for believing it is a tale of two lifetimes. Some of his exciting stories include the elephant shot in the Gonarezhou with tusks that went 132 and 107. Elephant cropping, buffalo tales, and colorful characters—this book has it all.
