The man-eaters of Tsavo cover

The man-eaters of Tsavo

by J. H. Patterson

"The firsthand account of the infamous Tsavo lions ... who for nearly a year terrorized East Africa, succeeded in bringing the construction of a railway line to a complete halt, and have been credited with the deaths of some one hundred people. Written by the legendary officer who shot these lions and risked death several times in the attempt ... is not only the story of this breathtaking hunt, but of Lieutenant-Colonel Patterson's other adventures in the African bush."--Publisher's description.
