A Ranging Son
The amusing and entertaining story of a man filled with zest for life which drove him to face all challenges with aggression, determination and humour. Coaxed by a boyhood dream to be involved with wildlife, he followed his heart and the trail set before him by joining the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Management. Stationed at Chipinda Pools in the State Land of the Gona-re-Zhou and employed to assist with Tsetse Operations which required him to shoot elephant and buffalo, he quickly recognized the potential and jewel-like quality of the area. Thus began his battle with poachers, vagabonds and interlopers, and the strewn pieces of a large jigsaw puzzle, a picture took shape. Assisted by the elephants, he was instrumental in creating Rhodesia's second biggest Game Reserve, the Gona-re-Zhou (Place of elephants). John Osborne tells his story with wit and appreciation having been in the right place at the right time!
