A trip to the railhead at Broken Hill (today's Kabwe in Zambia) in 1907, prompted Letcher to undertake his firs shooting safari into the little patronised but incredibly rich wildlife region of North-Eastern Rhodesia, famed for its scenically beautiful Luangwa valley. Moving through North-Eastern Rhodesia to its boundaries with Nyasaland and Mozambique, he built up his collection of antelope trophy heads, some of them now rarities. In Awamba territory towards the Muehinga, he bagged his first elephant. In the lake Bangweolo region, sittutunga, lechwe and tsessebe were hunted, also pooloo, reed-buck, hartebeest, and a Crawshay's variety (Cobus defassa crawshai) of waterbuck. In the Tumbwa swamps there were the handsom black lechwe. A facsimile reprint. all vols. uniform size. De-Luxe edition. [the set] bound in buffalo (black) with matching slipcase. 8vo.
