The book is a collection of Selous’ experiences and adventures while traveling and hunting in different parts of the world.

In these chapters, Selous describes his encounters with various animals such as lions, elephants, and tigers, as well as his experiences with the local people and their customs.The second part of the book focuses on Selous’ travels and hunting expeditions in the Western hemisphere, including North America and South America. In these chapters, Selous describes his experiences hunting bison, elk, and grizzly bears, as well as his encounters with the indigenous people of these regions.Throughout the book, Selous provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes and wildlife he encounters, as well as insightful commentary on the ethics of hunting and the impact of colonization on the native populations. Overall, Sport and Travel: East and West is a fascinating account of one man’s adventures and experiences in different parts of the world, and a valuable historical record of the attitudes and practices of hunting and exploration in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
