The Man-Eaters of Tsavo, and Other East African Adventures by J. H. Patterson

"The Man-Eaters of Tsavo, and Other East African Adventures" by J. H. Patterson is a semi-autobiographical book published in 1907. It recounts Patterson's harrowing experiences supervising railroad construction in Kenya in 1898, when two lions terrorized workers for nine months, killing dozens of people. Patterson eventually hunted down both man-eaters, earning international fame. The book also describes the completion of the bridge, encounters with local wildlife and tribes, and various hunting expeditions across East Africa. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
