Excerpt from A Picnic Party in Wildest Africa: Being a Sketch of a Winter's Trip to Some of the Unknown Waters of the Upper Nile Such experiences always leave pleasant memories behind them on the return home. It is then that one is best able to contrast the charm of existence in the wilds with the quiet pleasures of our conventional life at home - the neat little tent in which one passes one's time in the desert, the breeze whispering in the trees above, with the snug warm room at home; the cry of the night-bird, the wail of the hyena, and the splash of the crocodile in the water, for ever reminding us of the charm of nature and its simple pleasures, with the habitual sounds of the streets. A great part of the descriptions of the scenery and life on the Nile and Sobat rivers, are extracts from the journal of Mrs. Mc Millan, who most kindly put her notes at the disposal of the author. When such extracts are introduced they are placed between inverted commas, and the reader will have no diffi culty in distinguishing them from the rest of the book. Many of the engravings are from drawings taken on the spot by Mr. J essen, the engineer and surveyor to the expedition; and there are reproductions from photographs made by various members of the party. I also am much indebted to Mr. J essen, who has kindly consented to look over the proofs of the book during my absence from England.

The image that comes to mind when you think of big game hunters is of African safaris with men carrying enormous guns hunting exotic game. But there were women on those trips as well, and not just the trips to Africa, and they were often as successful at the hunt as the men. Women such as Lady Florence Dixie, Agnes Herbert, Osa Johnson, Grace Gallatin Seton, and Gladys Harriman hunted so well, they made names for themselves and wrote of their adventures. Divided into chapters detailing a specific time period, region hunted or individual woman, With Rifle and Petticoat explores the interesting women who hunted a variety of big game animals around the world.
