A chance meeting around a safari campfire on the banks of the Mupamadazi River leads to The Last Ivory Hunter: The Saga of Wally Johnson, a grand tale of African adventure by renowned hunting author Peter Hathaway Capstick.Wally Johnson spent half a century in Mozambique hunting white goldâivory. Most men died at this hazardous trade. Heâs the last one able to tell his story.In hours of conversations by mopane fired in the African bush, Wally described his careerâhow he survived the massive bite of a Gaboon viper, buffalo gorings, floods, disease, and most dangerous of all, gold fever. He bluffed down 200 armed poachers almost single-handedly, and survived rocket attacks from communist revolutionaries during Mozambiqueâs plunge into chaos in 1975.In Botswana, at age 63, Wally continued his career. Though the great tuskers have largely gone and most of Wallyâs colleagues are dead, Wally has survived. His words are rugged testimony to an Africa that is now a distant dream.
