Death in the Silent Places

De: Peter Hathaway Capstick

Narrado por: Luke Oldham

With his characteristic color and flair, Capstick recalls the extraordinary careers of men like Colonel J.H. Patterson and Colonel Jim Corbett, who stalked legendary man-eaters through the silent darkness on opposite sides of the world; men like Karamojo Bell, acknowledged as the greatest elephant hunter of all time; men like the valiant Sasha Siemel, who tracked killer jaguars though the Matto Grosso armed only with a spear.

With an authenticity gained by having shared the experiences he writes of, Capstick eloquently recreates the acrid taste of terror in the mouth of a man whose gun has jammed as a lion begins his charge, the exhilaration of tracking and finding a long-sought prey, the bravery and even nobility of performing under circumstances of primitive and savage stress, with death all around in the silent places of the wilderness.

Seelus …. SEELUS???

Everyone, EVERYONE else in the hunting world pronounces it Sa-LOU. Everyone! Lack of preparation and or direction of this narrator stands out glaringly and ruins the performance.

great collections of legendary hunting stories

I like the Corbett chapter…. And the chapter on Bell in an era that no longer exists

Great stories for those who love to hunt!!!

Wonderful stories of the greatest hunters and their stories, written with an interesting sense of humor.

Portrait in courage.

Chapstick portrayed the non-fiction actions of truly patriotic and courageous men under unimaginable stressful conditions.
