The Gorilla Hunters by R.M. Ballantyne is an adventure novel set in Africa during the mid-19th century. The story follows two young boys, Jack and Harry, as they embark on a dangerous journey to capture a gorilla for a wealthy Englishman's private zoo. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles and challenges, including hostile tribes, dangerous animals, and treacherous terrain.As they travel deeper into the African wilderness, the boys are joined by a group of experienced hunters and explorers, including a brave African warrior named Jumbo and a wise old man named Quashi. Together, they face numerous trials and tribulations, including a fierce battle with a group of cannibals and a perilous journey down a treacherous river.As they pursue their goal of capturing a gorilla, the boys also learn valuable lessons about courage, perseverance, and the importance of respecting the natural world. Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of characters, including a wise old elephant, a mischievous monkey, and a beautiful African princess.The Gorilla Hunters is a thrilling adventure story that combines action, suspense, and humor with a powerful message about the importance of preserving the natural world. It is a classic tale of exploration and adventure that will captivate readers of all ages.Hereupon the monkey uttered a terrific shriek of passion, exposed all its teeth and gums, glared at its adversary like a little fiend, and seizing the branch with both hands, shook it with all its might. The result was, that not only did the coveted bunch of fruit fall to the ground, but a perfect shower of bunches came down, one of which hit Jack on the forehead, and, bursting there, sent its fragrant juice down his face and into his beard, while the parrots and all the other monkeys took to flight, shrieking with mingled terror and rage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
