Paperback. Condizione: New. Language: English. About The Book: Big Game of India by Major H.C. Maydon is a comprehensive account of hunting large and dangerous animals across the Indian subcontinent during the British colonial era. Drawing on personal experiences and those of fellow sportsmen, Maydon details encounters with tigers, elephants, leopards, bison, and other game, emphasizing both the thrill and skill involved. The book combines vivid storytelling with practical advice on tracking, shooting, and the use of firearms. It also reflects the attitudes and values of the time regarding wildlife and sport hunting, offering historical insight into colonial-era field sports and the natural environment of British India. About The Author: Major H.C. Maydon (18841944) was a British military officer and collector known for his contributions to archaeological research in Sudan. During an expedition to Wadi Hawa, he collected stone and pottery fragments from North Darfur and Dongola. These artifacts were later donated to the British Museum, enhancing its collection of Nubian and Sudanese material culture. His activities are documented in a letter dated March 15, 1934, addressed to British Museum curator T.A. Joyce. Maydon's collection offers valuable insight into the region's archaeological heritage and reflects the broader context of British exploration and collecting practices in colonial-era Sudan.

1951 London, 445pp, illus, end-paper map. James Mellon, who wrote AFRICAN HUNTER, wrote of this book."No one but a madman would go on safari without a copy of Big Game Shooting in Africa." He planned all his trips with this work in hand. Covers virtually all of Africa and its animals. The accounts of early hunting expeditions into Africa, mainly post WW I till the late 1920s, must be read to be believed. In these days one could hire porters and animals such as donkeys or camels and trek into the interior for weeks, sometimes months, on end and essentially shoot without limit, albeit the contributing authors display a remarkable self-restraint when it came to selective hunting. Contributors include; Major H.C. Maydon, H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, R. Akroyd, Captain G. Blaine, Lt.-Col. R.E. Drake-Brockman, Major F.D. Browne, Major G. Burrard, A.L. Butler, Major A.L. Cooper, Major P.H.G. Powell-Cotton, Sir A.P. Gordon-Cumming, Bt., Dr. H.L. Duke, Colonel Stevenson Hamilton, A.C. Knollys, Denis Lyell, Captain A.T.A. Ritchie, Captain M.W. Hilton Simpson, N.B. Smith, Colonel H.G.C. Swayne, Colonel J.L.F. Tweedie, H.F. Varian, and R.C. Wood. While all sections in this book are worth reading the ones by Gilbert Blaine and Hugh Maydon are especially so.
