It is a very interesting edition as it was Edited and primarily written by Jack Lott and he describes his infamous dustup with a Cape buffalo that tossed him. In it he credits Wally Johnson , using Jack’s 458 Win, for saving his life. He also admits that he gut shot the buffalo and that the 458 Win worked perfectly!
In the second edition, that came out a few years later, Jack was promoting his 458 Lott wildcat and wrote a completely different story !
And years later, in an article published by Wolfe Pub, Jack blamed the 458 Win !

Very succinct summary there.
Truly a literary gem by a legendary wordsmith.
I am copying it to the .458 WinMag thread and will try not to detract too much from it by elaboration.
