There is ample evidence that Peter Capstick worked as a professional hunter in Africa. There are photos of his PH license, and entries in the SCI record book listing him as PH for elephant and other game.
What's more, the outfitters he worked for in Africa have said only good things about him. In South America, those who worked with Peter on jaguar hunts said he was the "real thing."
I knew Peter and was among the first to compare him in print with Ruark and Hemingway and their shared ability to bring Africa to life for those who have not seen her.
He should not be judged by the last years of his life, when his alcoholism took over. As others who also know Fiona will tell you, she would have nothing to do with a phony.

Incidentally, according to Fiona, Peter was not related to the Hathaways who made shirts.
