Frederick Courteney Selous

Archaic, dialectical and unusual spellings have been maintained. Obvious misprints have been fixed. Please note that the block quotations from other sources, such as the "Foreword" tend to have different dialectical spellings. Changes are indicated below and in the text with a mouse-over like this.

The links in the List of Illustrations point to the illustrations, which may have been moved a page or two away from the indicated page.

The cover of this ebook was developed by Linda Hamilton at pgdp.net, and is in the public domain.
