Big Game Shooting (Volume 1)

By Clive Phillipps-Wolley

Book Overview

A crisp, adventurous invitation to a world where craft, courage, and curiosity shaped empire and landscape. Big Game Shooting (Volume 1) opens a doorway to Victorian era Britain and its African safaris era, guiding readers through a bygone frontier with modern clarity and reverence. This is more than a manual; it is a comprehensive big game hunting guide and hunting and firearms manual rolled into one accessible volume. Readers encounter practical insight into rifle handling techniques, big game tracking methods, field dress and game care, and the hunter training references that kept field sports enthusiasts prepared. The prose blends technical know-how with storytelling, offering a richly textured sense of colonial hunting traditions and the colonial hunting narratives that informed generations. Alpha Editions restores not just a text but a cultural artifact: a work out of print for decades, reimagined for today's readers and future generations. It stands as a collector's item and a cultural treasure, worthy of both casual readers drawn to adventure and classic-literature collectors seeking historical texture and literary resonance. Its value lies in its enduring themes-skill, responsibility, and the romance of the chase-embodied in a carefully restored edition that honours the period while speaking to contemporary readers.
