Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed account of the author's 1920 hunting and exploration trip through Angola, a vast and geologically young colony in southwest Africa. The author embarked on this journey to seek out the habitat of the newly identified giant sable antelope, while researching the history and economy of the region. The book considers the evolution of the sable, the source of its remarkable horns, and the distribution of this species. Alongside this, the author provides first-hand descriptions of the Angolan landscape, its flora and fauna, and the customs of the native tribes he encountered. The author's observations and experiences provide a fascinating and valuable account of Angola before the advance of the 20th century led to major economic and social changes.
