The rogue elephant
The Rogue Elephant is a boys' adventure story in the Big Game Series published by Reilly and Britton of Chicago under the name Elliott Whitney. A seasoned African hunter agrees to guide an elderly German naturalist, Dr. von Hofe, into elephant country to collect specimens, on condition that he alone commands the expedition and may bring two boys he trusts. Their journey takes them into East Africa, around Mount Kenya and beyond, across desert country to a mysterious lake, with treachery in camp, a desperate fight and the dangerous rogue elephant of the title. The story is fast, outdoorsy and full of hunting lore. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
