Peter Hathaway Capstick was a renowned American author and adventurer whose passion for the African wilderness shaped his captivating narratives on hunting, wildlife, and the rugged lives of big-game hunters. Born in 1940 in New Jersey, Capstick traded a Wall Street career for the thrill of safaris, becoming a professional hunter and guide in South Africa and beyond. His books, drawn from personal exploits and historical accounts, vividly portray the dangers and allure of the bush. With a voice that blends gritty realism and wry humor, Capstick immortalized the vanishing era of ivory hunters and explorers. He passed away in 1996, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire readers of adventure literature. Notable among his works is 'The Last Ivory Hunter: The Saga of Wally Johnson,' a gripping tale of one man's epic pursuit across Africa.
