Description
Preface: During these days of ceaseless conflict, anxiety and unrest among men, when at times it begins to look as if ?the Caucasian? really is ?played out,? perhaps the English-reading world will turn with a sigh of relief to the contemplation of wild animals. At all events, the author has found this diversion in his favorite field mentally agreeable and refreshing.
