The only "Now gone to the big typewriter in the sky" video I have is about Gary Cooper and Ernest Hemingway hunting in Idaho-- Don't think Coops was in any African safaris, but Hemingway was in 1953 where many photos exist. No offense, but it is Selby, not Shelby- wish I could own and shoot his .416 Rigby Mauser BA rifle--

I have both "The Old Man and the Boy" and the sequel- "The Old Man's Boy Grows Older" and my other 2 Ruark books- "Horn of the Hunter" and "The Honey Badger" Ruark was sometimes compared to Hemingway's writing style- they both had solid newspaper reporting/writing backgrounds. RWTF
