John Alexander Hunter "White Hunter"

[Hunter-Habib]

All so interesting and wish I had a time machine! Colonial Africa at the turn of the century with such fine firearms too..Send me back with a Holland 500 Double or better yet 577 or 600...
I am not much of a reader now but which of his books would you Gents recommend to be the best ?

Hunter (1952). A true classic.

He is a very special person to me because he ignited my passion for Africa.
One day while in elementary school, I found "Hunter" in the bookmobile that used to visit our school....That started it all

I have an original copy of Hunter from 1952

I have just finished shunted by J. A. Hunter. What an incredible classic. @kevinpeacock should add it to our list given the excellent writing. I was very impressed with it and recommend it highly!!!

I agree and I can't believe that it isn't there already

To me that book and Death in the Long Grass are the best written and started it all for me
