Once again I am reading African hunter by James Mellon and a cohort of famous PHs.
Mr Mellon is not very talkative about himself. One learns he lived 5 years in Kenya and little more is offered to the reader's curiosity.
He looks like a fairly slim youngman, I admire his shooting big rifles with what looks like a lean frame, not exactly a big guy.
I salute his absolute (insane?) dedication and his undoubtable stamina.
Albeit all the fantastic games he shot, albeit many unusual experiences he is never caught redhanded badmouthing, what is admirable too.
I can with no risk of error guess that he is a wealthy man with plenty of free time, no offense or jealousy intended.

But who is (or was?) James Mellon?
