Life of Frederick Courtenay Selous

The life of the hunter and naturalist whose name stood for African big game - the Zambesi years, the collections he made for the Museum, the friendship with Roosevelt, and the death in action at sixty-five with a bullet from a German sniper. Millais knew him and wrote from the letters. This edition is bound with a gallery of 59 plates of painting, among them works by Albert Bierstadt, Richard Wilson and Frederic Edwin Church.
