There was time, not all that long ago, when Africa was wild and there were tough, resourceful characters who made their living pursuing that most dangerous of careers-ivory hunting. From Bell to Sutherland, the lure of the big tusker irresistibly drew them to traverse swamp, desert, and jungle, and to endure amazing hardships and considerable danger all in the pursuit of white gold-ivory. Those who are fortunate enough to have read Ian Nyschens book, Months of the Sun, will recognize that Ian is one of this special breed of men. The tribesmen named him Kaporamujesse, the penetrator of the dense jesse where elephant were encountered in distances measured not in yards but feet!
