The Man-eaters of Tsavo and Other East African Adventures
by John Henry Patterson (1867-1947)

London, Macmillan & Co., Limited

Book Digitized by msn
From 1907


IT is with feelings of the greatest diffidence that I place the following pages before the public ; but those of my friends who happen to have heard of my rather unique experiences in the wilds have so often urged me to write an account of my adventures, that after much hesitation I at last determined to do so. I have no doubt that many of my readers, who have perhaps never been very far away from civilisation, will be inclined to think that some of the incidents are exaggerated. I can only assure them that I have toned down the facts rather than otherwise, and have endeavoured to write a perfectly plain and straightforward account of things as they actually happened.
[ END OF FIRST PARAGRAPH ]

Definitely on my list. I have read some of Jim Corbetts books. I had no idea that he only killed man eaters

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
