I'm neither a huge fan of Capstick, nor a detractor of him. But I am pretty amazed at how wound up people can get about someone long dead who probably did more to ignite interest in African hunting (and thereby provide a line of income for all the other PH's, whether they praised, bashed, or said nothing about him) than anyone else in history.
He was a great storyteller, he brought Africa to hundreds of thousands of readers in the USA and around the globe. Thousands of those readers ended up going there on safari, and the millions of dollars generated by the hunting revenues have done immeasurable good for African wildlife.
Sometimes it's best to just let dead people rest.
