Death In A Lonely Land: More Hunting, Fishing and Shooting on Five Continents
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1990. Later printing. Hardcover. Fine, fresh, unread copy in equally fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 284 pp. Illustrated with drawings by Dino Paravano. Later printing. A follow-up volume to Capstick's smashing success "Last Horizons" (1989), a second volume of pieces culled from magazines such as "Outdoor Life", "American Hunter", "Guns & Ammo" and Petersen's Hunting". The stockbroker-turned-outdoorsman recalls his days as an African professional hunter in "The Killer Baboons of Vlackfontein". "Four Fangs in a Treetop" records a foray into British Honduras for the jaguar, "a gold-dappled teardrop of motion". He narrowly escapes the Yellow Beard, Central America's deadliest tree-climbing snake, and cows "The Black Death" (Cape buffalo) in the kind of article that makes the author the "guru" of African hunting fans. Fine / fine. Item #E35967
