Hello
I finally got around to reading the book that I bought about the "Man Eaters of Tsavo". I opted to buy the book by Phillup Caputo.
I was interupted by 2 books about the 'OLDEN days';Joseph Brant,Mohawk Chief,and Sir William Johnson,Mohawk Baronet.You may not agree with some of the things that they did,but you will have to agree that they were both outstanding people.
I'm about a third of the way ino the Tsavo book,and it constantly refers to the Patterson book.I'm afraid that,even though this book will give me most of the same information,and it's good reading,I'll need to read that one too.
That is the reasoning behind reading "Brant" and "Johnson',after reading "Montcalm and Wolf".

Here is a link to the 1908 printing. This one has an interesting cover picture.
It will at least get you started till you can find a copy

William
That's an impressive book cover!
FYI
The people interviewed by Caputo,for his book,did not have a great appreciation for Patterson,as a hunter.

William,and anyone else
I just bought a DVD of the movie "Ghost and Darkness"
With shipping;7 dollars and change.There are more available on ebay
That is a good price,compared to prices at local stores,around here.

Not the equal of Jeremiah Johnson,but one of my favorite.

I thought I would rent it and have a look but spare time has been hard to come by lately. I have found time to cast some bullets though!
