Just purchased another fine hunting adventure book from that source of all sources for old and out of print books ABEBOOKS.COM, excellant selection. Another hunter traveled to Africa in the early to mid 1800's with, of course, a brace of James Purdey muzzleloaders.
Geez guys give credit where credit is due... The English have been building and using these things under the most dangerous of circumstances for a heck of a long time!!!
