Hunting And Hunted In The Belgian Congo

Author: Reginald Davey Cooper

Year: 1914

"A real story of adventure in unknown lands....concerned principally with elephant and other hunting--sometimes with the author himself as quarry....fortunately he escaped at the worst with an arrow wound." - The Academy, June 13, 1914. "Cooper...tells us the story of his adventures among the cannibals and big game of East and Central Africa, North Eastern Congo...hairbreadth escape from cannibals on the banks of the Insa reads like a chapter from Rider Haggard." - Manchester Courier, April 24, 1914. "Cooper...can set down his elephant-hunting exploits in a vivid fashion...to the big game hunter his book will be a continual delight...will make sportsmen envious of the author's life, hard and dangerous though it was." - Birmingham Post, June 26, 1914. "Cooper is one of the band of world wanderers who have in their blood the craving for the wild...as a record of the hardships and difficulties experienced by these poorly equipped hunters in search of elephants and ivory in out-of-the-way districts of Central Africa, the book is of interest." - The Geographical Journal, 1914. In 1914, Reginald Davey Cooper wrote of his narrow escape with his life from angry elephants and hostile tribes
