Alan Black, the well-known white hunter of Kenya, is one of the very few white men who is in the true meaning of the term a "lone hunter". He goes off "on his own" without even a single Native guide...
I am wondering if anyone has come across any literature/lore pertaining to the life of Black, 1881-1963, beyond what is to be found on the Europeans in East Africa website and in the pages of Herne's excellent White Hunters. He's the one intrigues me most of all the early greats, though i suspect that the very nature of what makes the man and his life so intrigueing placed strict limits on what would ever be known of him to write about. Perhaps i've missed something. Thanks.
