Peter Hathaway Capstick was indeed the writer who brought back Africa hunting! He was also a hunter, yes he could tell a story that would keep you captivated until it was finished, somewhat like a kid being told a story of Santa Clause and his reindeer etc.
Peter Hathaway Capstick did do more than his share of hunting African game, including those that we call dangerous game. Sum people were jealous of Peter's success, both with the pen and his hunting of big game, not to mention his abilities to entertain people, with his stories and accomplishments. Peter was an educated man and his number one gift, was his ability to encapsul readers to embrace themselves with the way he portrayed Africa and it's hunting......nobody ever did it any better.
I for one, do thank Peter Capstick for opening my eyes to the world of Africa and instilling in my soul the want to hunt and partake of the country as he told about it in his books. I feel fortunate to have been able to purchase his writings and dream the dream of many hunters. I just wish I could have done so 20 years sooner.........Thank you Peter!
