About This Item
St. Martin's Press, 1990. Hardcover. Like New/Fine. 9x6x1. From the author of Last Horizons, Peter Hathaway Capstick now presents Death in a Lonely Land, a second volume of his hunting, fishing, and shooting adventures on five continentsâstories collected from such magazines as Outdoor Life, NRAâs American Hunter, Guns & Ammo, and Petersenâs Hunting.The stockbroker-turned-outdoorsman recalls his days as an African pro hunter in âThe Killer Baboons of Vlackfontein.â âFour Fangs in a Treetopâ records a foray into British Honduras for the jaguar, âa gold-dappled teardrop of motion.â Capstick narrowly escapes the Yellow Beard, Central Americaâs deadly tree-climbing snake, and cows âThe Black Deathâ (Cape buffalo) in the kind of article that makes this author âthe guru of American hunting fansâ (New York Newsday). On Brazilâs forsaken Marajo Island, he bags the pugnacious red buffalo, which has the âtemperament of a constipated Sumo wrestler and the tenacity of an IRS man.âThe author discusses 12- and 20-gauge shotgun loads; recalls the pleasures of âbiltongâ (African beef jerky); describes the irresistible homemade lures of snook fishing expert John Gorbatch; and kills a genteel take of Atlantic salmon with the brilliantly simple tube fly.
