Bvenkenya -- S C Barnard to give him his real name -- is almost a legend in the wilderness and on the great Limpopo River. Here he relives the strange adventures of ivory poaching and outlawry, which made him one of the most colorful of all African personalities. We read of the hunts, fights, escapades and adventures of a man who was an outlaw for twenty years, an adventurer of the wilds who defied the police of three countries and fought a one-man war with authority with complete success. This is the story of the king o f the Ivory Poachers, as told by himself to T V Bulpin.''
