Frederic Whyte translation
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT wrote of Mr. Schillings’s book:
“His extraordinary photographic work among the teeming wild creatures of East Africa.... He is a great field naturalist, a trained scientific observer, as well as a mighty hunter; and no mere hunter can ever do work even remotely approaching in value that which he has done. His book should be translated into English at once.”
