THE WILD ASS FREE. By Michael Mason.

1959 1st edition. 8vo (145 x 222mm). Ppxii,180. B/w photograph plates. Blue cloth, spine titled in gilt.

The story of three hunting and photographic expeditions: in the Rockies, the Red Sea Hills, and on the Sudan-Congo border". This is a book of safari mainly in quest of three of the world's remaining rare animals - the blue goat of Idaho which scientists swore never existed, the wild ass of the Red Sea hills of the Sudan which they believed to be extinct, and the red buffalo of the Azande country of Southern Sudan on the Congo border with its sunless gallery-forests, which they had never seen. Mr Mason succeeded in finding all three and the story of his tracking and stalking of these animals is also the story of many other of the rarer game animals which he came across. His account of his expeditions is a remarkable blend of the life of the sportsman, the naturalist, and the man entirely at home in out-of-the-way places".
