Set against the backdrop of the Uganda Railway's construction in 1898 Kenya, this gripping account details Lieutenant-Colonel John Henry Patterson's harrowing encounters with man-eating lions that terrorized his crew. As he recounts the loss of workers to these savage beasts, Patterson also faces other challenges, including worker tensions and a catastrophic flood. Enhanced by over a hundred photographs and illustrations, this edition preserves Patterson's original narrative, capturing both the perilous hunt and the harsh realities of the railway project.
