Publisher's Synopsis

This vintage book contains a collection of real-life hunting anecdotes originally recounted in the written works of notable hunters. The episodes concern mostly thrilling encounters with ferocious and dangerous wild animals, ranging from packs of wolves to lions and more. "Mighty Hunters" will appeal to those with an interest in big game hunting, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: "The Hungry Hippo, by F. Vaughan Kirby", "The Rhino", "Capturing the Wild Norse. By Washington Irvine", "The Skater and the Wolves", "A Leap for Liberty, by Sir Samuel Baker", "The Death of the Man-Eater, by Capt. J. Forsyth", "A Charmed Life", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of big game hunting.
