African huntress Mrs Crow recalls near fatal rhino and lion ordeal
Mrs. Crow, wife of German hunter Alfred Klein Crow, recounts stalking and photographing a sleeping rhinoceros in Africa and a perilous lion encounter at a thorn boma. She details waiting through night, a female lion killing bait, shots that wounded and forced retreat, and the couple’s austere Tanganyika camp life away from Nairobi.
