Excerpt from In Wildest Africa In the fall of 1907, I was in my study at Boston when my old friend and comrade in the campaigns of the Philippines, Mr. Peter Dutkewich, of New York, called upon me and asked me to go with him to Central Africa. Mr. Dutkewich is a Russian by birth, but lives most of his time in the United States. He is a great lover of the wild countries of the world and is a famous hunter. He is a professional outdoor photographer and has made twelve thousand negatives of Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, Japan, India, China, Siberia, Turkey, the Philippines and many other countries. He has photographed the Canadian Rockies, the Sierra Nevadas, and Mexico. He accompanied the expedition to Pekin in 1900 and was with General Kuropatkin through the entire campaign in Manchuria. Mr. Dutkewich proposed a tour to the headwaters of the Nile and to East Africa, for the purpose of photographing and writing.
