Description and Table of Contents
Description
In the course of two years spent in the Jungle, William T. Hornaday travelled through India, Ceylon, Malaya, and Sarawak. His purpose was to obtain specimens of large animals - crocodiles, tigers, elephants - for American museums, but he was also an astute observer of the places and people he visited
This is a paperback reprint of parts III and IV (the Malay Peninsula and Borneo) of the original book, first published in 1885. It offers a lively account of animals, hunting, peoples, and places, and the experiences of a gifted man with a deep love and respect for nature.
