Capstick was an entertaining writer of fiction. O'Connor actually shot all of those rifles and animals that he wrote about. Capstick spent quite some time drifting around through safari camps, eating their food and drinking their booze, while he collected yarns from the bull sessions of real Professional Hunters. These he transformed into entertaining books about African hunting, featuring himself as the Great White Hunter. Few, if any, of the adventures he described were anything that he had experienced first-hand.
