In this volume, first published in 1954, the late Bulpin, an author, relates the experiences of Cecil Bernard "Bvekenya" (1886-1962) as a hunter, ivory poacher, blackbirder, outdoorsman, and conservationist. He lived in the Limpopo River region of Africa in the first decades of the twentieth century, and Bulpin recounts his childhood in Knysna, how he moved to the area around Crooks Corner to hunt elephants and other animals, how he dealt with raiders and the police, and his relationship with the wanderer Mgwazi.
