Originally published in 1947, this book is considered one of the best ever written on hunting the African buffalo.
“John F. Burger, Afrikander and author of this book, would heartily endorse any theatrical effort to simulate the charge of an African bull buffalo—if no human life is to be risked. This notable professional hunter, who is here being introduced to the American public, has miraculously survived to live and tell of many last-ditch encounters with the powerful and crafty buffalo. Mr. Burger’s experiences in the game fields of his native continent cover a period of forty years, and in that time more than one thousand of the massive brutes have fallen to his rifles. As he takes care to explain, only a small number of the animals in that record bag have actually charged; but in that temperate statement there rests proof of his usual success in placing a first, effective hit—the shot that renders a charge improbable. Failure of that first shot, or the effect of factors beyond the hunter’s control, constitutes the explosive cap that can set this specimen of black dynamite into action. Once the buffalo’s charge is actually under way his only objective is to produce a dead hunter. The animal has accomplished his grim purpose in many instances. Too frequently the gored and trampled victim has been a veteran of the trails, not a novice hunter or a defenseless native. In some vitally unaccountable way the buffalo had gained advantages at a rate faster than was allowed the hunter. The man was then denied that last precious asset for survival, luck. Our author lives to tell of his close encounters with the horned death simply because luck never failed to tip the scales in his favor.”

Horned Death eBook John F Burger Ellis Christian Lenz Reviews
Terrific information along with story telling.
I was under the impression it would be more about hunting than it was, but all said and done, I liked it.
Excellent, excellent excellent! You can almost smell the campfire. I'll read it again in the future. I'll bet you do to.
I consider Capstick great - and hugely entertaining. These stories take one to Africa and teach one a thing or two, but it isn't on the top rung of Dark Continent hunting books. I still recommend it if you are really into African hunting.
This is a very interesting book. I enjoyed the stories leading up to the actually conflict of man and beast. It is
filled with griping tales and suspense. You become asorbed, just as if you are the one hunting the dangerous and
crafty buffalo, make a mistake and it will cost you, most likely your life. There are grave yards in Africa that house many hunters, that under estimated the ability of the dangeous "buff". If you like hunting dangeous game,
then you will like this book! Best prices were on !
Excellent piece about hunting African Cape Buffalo. What is especially nice about the work is that each chapter is its own story so the book can be read in bits and pieces and isn't a single connected work even though the book does flow chronologically.
Easy to read and hard not put down. Stories by the person who lived it are a joy to read
The stories in this book illustrate much of, not only the dangers of certain African game animals, but human nature at its best and worst. Thank you Michael Bane for recommending this book.
