Salopian, Here are two illustrated books by Gordon Cumming from my library.
Wild men and Wild beasts,first published in 1871 my copy is the 1898 edition .By then Gordon had reached the rank of Lt;Col.
The lion hunter in South Africa,first published in 1850. A very popular this book; ran to 8 editions plus numerous reprints of the 7 edition.
Both books read like adventure stories!
