The Man-Eaters of Tsavo, and Other East African Adventures
John Henry Patterson and Frederick Courteney Selous
For months two lions stalked the railway camp at Tsavo, dragging men from their tents in the dark. J. H. Patterson tells the true story of the man-eaters and his long, nerve-shredding hunt to end them. Terrifying, gripping, and unforgettable. One of the great real-life adventures of colonial Africa. Sit up through the night with a rifle and wait for the lions.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
