Summary "Hunting in Many Lands: The Book of the Boone and Crockett Club" by Theodore Roosevelt and George Bird Grinnell is a collection of hunting stories and essays written in the late 19th century. The book features accounts from various contributors who detail their hunting experiences in diverse locations, from East Africa to Canada and beyond. It aims to share the thrill and challenges of big game hunting while promoting wildlife conservation efforts. At the start of the collection, readers are introduced to W. A. Chanler’s narrative about his hunting expedition in East Africa, where he sets out from the Taveta forest near Mt. Kilimanjaro. Equipped with a range of rifles, Chanler recounts his experiences tracking hippos and encountering formidable wildlife. As the tale unfolds, he details his interactions with both the natural environment and local tribes, enduring hardships like fever and disappointment while pursuing the elusive game. This establishes a vivid picture of the hunting culture and the challenges hunters face, creating an engaging and atmospheric setting for the adventures to follow in subsequent chapters.
