    About this audiobook

    In this fascinating historical memoir, W.D.M. Bell recounts tales from his life as the premiere elephant hunter at the turn of the twentieth century. Bell’s daring exploits in Uganda and other African countries earned him widespread notoriety and a modest fortune. He knew elephants inside and out, and he used this knowledge to make the most of every shot. This memoir is a must-read for anyone interested in big game hunting or African safaris.
