Peter Hathaway Capstick

Peter Hathaway Capstick, former Wall Street stockbroker turned professional adventurer, has been critically acclaimed as the successor to Hemingway and Ruark in African hunting literature.

He was born in New Jersey and educated at the University of Virginia. He left Wall Street at the age of nearly thirty and began hunting in Central and South America before going to Africa in 1968. He held professional hunting licenses in four African countries: Ethiopia, Zambia, Botswana, and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). He spent most of his life in Africa, and died in South Africa in 1996. He was a much-respected writer as well as hunter.
