We should all have a friend as faithful and honest as Ernest was to F.

The Golden Grindstone by Angus Graham. Incredible tale of adventure traveling to the Klondike in 1897. Splits his knee cap in the back of beyond and lives with the Indians as it heals. The story of how the women fixed and healed this devastating injury is worth the read alone. A brawling bare knuckle ride into the gold fields, washed down with four fingers of Scotch neat.

Just finished this one for the second time.
Pretty good read, dealing with elephant poaching in Kruger in South Africa and Gonarezhou in Rhodesia.
It chronicles the obsession of a game warden chasing the best elephant poacher in his area. It then goes into how he befriends the poacher and gets him to work for the Rhodesians in their battle against terrorist coming from Mozambique, then how the Rhodesians betray him in the end.

Absolutely. You can hear the regret from Thomson as he wraps up the story.

I stumbled on this in the local used book store.

Interesting, Fred went to Chad and CAR on his first trip to Africa. I only recalled reading and hearing about his two trips to Mozambique. But in all honesty, he was far more successful on those later two trips taking elephant, lion and Cape buffalo and plenty of plains game.
