Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. About The Book: Big Game of India by Major H.C. Maydon is a comprehensive account of hunting large and dangerous animals across the Indian subcontinent during the British colonial era. Drawing on personal experiences and those of fellow sportsmen, Maydon details encounters with tiger…s, elephants, leopards, bison, and other game, emphasizing both the thrill and skill involved. The book combines vivid storytelling with practical advice on tracking, shooting, and the use of firearms. It also reflects the attitudes and values of the time regarding wildlife and sport hunting, offering historical insight into colonial-era field sports and the natural environment of British India. About The Author: Major H.C. Maydon (18841944) was a British military officer and collector known for his contributions to archaeological research in Sudan.

His activities are documented in a letter dated March 15, 1934, addressed to British Museum curator T.A. Joyce.
