"In Africa: Hunting Adventures in the Big Game Country" by John T. McCutcheon is a collection of travel narratives written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author's vivid experiences during a hunting expedition in Africa, capturing the allure and thrill associated with big game hunting. It promises to transport readers into the heart of African wilderness and adventure, inviting them to explore the sights, sounds, and challenges faced in pursuit of iconic wildlife. At the start of the work, the author reflects on his long-held dream of hunting lions and elephants, inspired by adventure literature from his youth. He details the preparation for his journey, including acquiring an impressive array of rifles and supplies in London, and meeting fellow adventurers, such as the renowned hunter Mr. Akeley, who will join him on this safari. The narrative sets the stage for both an exciting adventure and an introspective exploration of McCutcheon's ambitions and the realities of life in the wild, hinting at encounters with both majestic animals and the unpredictable nature of the African landscape.
