Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . Gordon Cundill's obituary reads in part: "During the 1950s, Gordon assisted as a guide during the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya, when he was shot in the leg by a man using a muzzle-loader charged with a 'pot leg' for a projectile. During the 1960s, Gordon hunted in the Congo before moving to Rhodesia. I first met Gordon in 1970 when hunting lions in Zululand. The 1970s and '80s were a relatively peaceful time in his life. He joined hunting legend Harry Selby in the firm Kerr, Downey and Selby in Botswana, later purchasing and developing Hunters Africa. Operating from Hilton in South Africa and Kasani in Botswana, they primarily ran safaris in Botswana and some in East Africa. In 1990, Gordon's car hit a cow on the road just outside Maun, Botswana; the vehicle landed on its roof and Gordon sustained serious injuries. During the months he spent in hospital, he lost control of Hunters Africa. He spent the latter years of his life writing autobiographical books based on his experiences: A Hunters Africa, Fragments of Africa and Some Lions I have Met. He began writing a fourth book on elephant hunting, but before he could complete it he was called away on the eternal safari." No. 798 of a Signed Limited Edition of 1,000.
