Legendary
hunting rifles return to the Dark Continent to fulfill their destiny and
confirm their place in safari history. The sport of hunting has a long and
storied past where men, places, and events often take on iconic status as the
years pass. Africa, in particular, has
been home to countless legendary figures and their deeds since modern man first
put pen to paper in an effort to capture and share his experiences in pursuit
of game on the Dark Continent.
The lure of ivory opened the interior of Africa. Bold men
in search of Africa’s white gold carved their way through its wilderness and
into legend as they lived and died on the tracks of elephants and adventure.
Most of her storied hunters were sons of Africa born into the great land but
not all.
Africa cast her spell on men from across the seas, men
who came to love the land, its game, and the danger and drama of the chase.
Some of these men, through the written word, would produce works and deeds that
continue to this day to ignite the flame of adventure and the thrill of the
hunt in those likeminded souls who have followed them.
The study of African history, Africana, is alive and well
today. The desire to see, feel, and sometimes hold history in your hands, is a
passion strong in the hearts of certain individuals.
Once in a great while, an iconic figure will
inadvertently lend his fame to a companion. Not of flesh and blood but of wood
and steel. The rifles carried and used by famous hunters and literary figures
become recognized and highly prized treasures of Africana in their own right.
This is a film dedicated to their story and the passion of one man to return
them to the land and task for which they were born. This is Historic Rifles-The
Long Journey Home. Check here for more information or to order!
