Sport And Travel: East And West is a travelogue written by Frederick Courteney Selous and published in 1900. The book chronicles Selous' travels across various regions of Asia and Africa, where he indulged in his passion for hunting and exploring. The book is divided into two parts: the first part covers Selous' travels in Asia, particularly in India and the Himalayas, where he hunted big game such as tigers, leopards, and bears. He also describes the local customs and traditions of the people he encountered on his journey. The second part of the book focuses on Selous' travels in Africa, where he hunted elephants, lions, and other wild animals. He describes the landscapes, flora, and fauna of the African wilderness and the challenges he faced during his expeditions. Throughout the book, Selous provides detailed accounts of his hunting adventures and the techniques he used to track and kill his prey. He also reflects on the ethics of hunting and the impact of colonialism on the native populations of the regions he visited. Sport And Travel: East And West is a fascinating account of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of big-game hunting and adventure travel in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
