Paraphrased from the
foreword by Tony Dyer: Andrew Holmberg is one of the two oldest
professional hunters alive today. He was in a sense born into the
business, for his godmother was Karen Blixen, wife of the famous old time
hunter Baron Bror von Blixen. Andre had a long and successful career and
excelled above many professionals for the quality of big game trophies. He
took for himself, clients or friends more large bull elephants than any
other man, living or dead. Sixty three pairs of tusks over 100 pounds each
represents a massive mount of hard and successful hunting. You can be
lucky once or twice but not sixty three times.
His own best bull was 141
pounds. His best buffalo was 58 inches. As every big game hunter knows,
truly big trophies are generally found only by pioneering new country and
hard work. Andrew Holmberg excelled in hunting more remote areas where
others came later. He was the leading exponent of the modern foot safari
where pack animals carried light loads in and Large tusks out. His
evocative photographs represent something that was truly original and
unique at the time. Today they have a great historic quality, representing
a vanished era indeed.
Here is a book telling of a
long lifetime of successful hunting safaris. To some it may seem that his
adventures are painted with a large brush. But Kenya has always been a
land of drama and sudden violence. And it has attracted people who lived
out their larger than life lives in a manner keeping with the country. A
large brush indeed is needed to paint the picture of Andrews Holmberg's
life and big game hunting. In this book you will be treated to adventure
on a grand scale.
Andrew Holmberg's
documented record of sixty three sets of 100 pound elephant tusks
represents over twice the total number of 100 pounders taken by all other
hunters as listed in the current SCI record book.
