‎"Les récits d'un des plus célèbres chasseurs en Afrique australe, avec de nombreuses anecdotes sur les populations locales et la vie quotidienne. En 1850, le jeune William Baldwin, dévore un livre qui vient de paraître et qui deviendra célèbre, Five years of a hunter's life in the far interor of South Africa de R. Gordon Cumming. Quittant alors la maison de commerce qui l'emploie, il n'a qu'une seule idée, partir pour l'Afrique australe. De Durban (Port-Natal) aux chutes Victoria en passant par le désert du Kalahari, Baldwin sillonne le sud-est africain à la poursuite du gibier, jusqu'en 1866. Il y rédige son journal de chasse qui reste aussi un document passionnant sur la vie des Boers, des Zoulous, des Cafres, des Bochimans et des Hottentots"‎
