Description
Death in the Silent Places by Peter Hathaway Capstick This book is a fascinating account of the lives of some of the greatest hunters of the past, as seen through the eyes of a man who has experienced the thrill of the hunt firsthand. Peter Hathaway Capstick recounts the extraordinary careers of men who stalked legendary prey in the most challenging environments, from the darkness of the African wilderness to the heart of the Matto Grosso. With an authenticity gained from sharing in the experiences he writes of, Capstick brings to life the acrid taste of terror, the exhilaration of tracking and finding a long-sought prey, and the bravery of performing under circumstances of primitive and savage stress. This is a gripping and thought-provoking account of the men who have faced death in the silent places of the wilderness.
