Death in a Lonely Land

Death in a Lonely Land: More Hunting, Fishing and Shooting on Five Continents by Peter Hathaway Capstick is one of the great modern classics of big-game hunting literature. First published in 1983, the book continues Capstick’s thrilling storytelling that made earlier works such as Death in the Long Grass famous among hunters, outdoorsmen, and Africana collectors.

Drawing on his experiences as a professional hunter and outdoors writer, Capstick recounts dramatic encounters with dangerous game across the world — from Africa’s formidable Cape buffalo to the jungles and rivers of South America and beyond. His vivid narrative style in Death in a Lonely Land places the reader directly in the bush, where split-second decisions often mean the difference between life and death.

Death in a Lonely Land features striking wildlife illustrations by Dino Paravano, complementing Capstick’s gripping tales of adventure, survival, and the realities of hunting some of the planet’s most formidable animals.

Highly sought after by collectors of Africana, safari literature, and sporting classics, this title remains an essential addition to any hunting or outdoor adventure library.
