Dankeschoen Herr Lancaster.
I much enjoyed your excellent find.
As many of us believe, we were born a hundred years too late. Being able to hunt, explore, photograph, in the wild mountains and jungles among the wild kine, panthers, tigers, rhino, deer galore, and elephant back shikari.
The Chinese are still at it. As a race little care for the natural world, destroying rare barely surviving species, denuding forests, tearing apart mountain gains with badly designed roads, even to this day. An antlike race.
That book is a wonderful inclusion to your library.
You couldn't have said it better for me, John. Your post has been my sentiments for sixty+ years. I learned to read from hours of wearing the print off the pages of vintage Stoeger's Shooter's Bibles from before WWII and shortly afterward. My dad also made sure I kept on up current events in the mid-late 1950s and into the 1960s.
This thread is an amazing trip back to my childhood.
