"African Nature Notes and Reminiscences" by Frederick Courteney Selous is a natural history and observational account written in the early 20th century. The book documents the author's extensive experiences and insights into the wildlife of South Africa, particularly focusing on the natural behavior and characteristics of various big game animals. It blends personal anecdotes with scientific observations, offering a unique glimpse into a time when these interactions were thriving." "The opening portion of the book introduces Selous's intentions and the influence behind his writing, particularly highlighting his conversations with President Theodore Roosevelt, who encouraged him to publish his notes. It explains how the chapters consist of previously written articles and how Selous aims to broaden the understanding of African wildlife beyond mere hunting narratives. The introductory remarks focus on the importance of accurate observation in natural history and the value of firsthand experiences in recounting the lives of the majestic creatures inhabiting the African wilderness."
