Tracking the Memory

Tracking the Memory is primarily a collection of informative and personal stories about the different experiences of hunting. It is also the culmination of a boyhood enterprise of exploration and discovery that began on a farm in the Chipinga area of British colonial Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) during the mid-1950s, and continued along the banks of the majestic Sabi (Save) River, and lives to this day 65 years on as a lifetime career and passion of the author. Kevin Thomas is first a professional hunter but thankfully he is also a writer, and as such we have this collection of first hand accounts of what it is like to straddle both the romantic, adventurous side of hunting and the modern commercial aspect of an often controversial industry. Hunting is now a business but we must always remember it was once a way of life.
