Excerpt from Notes for Hunting Men It is with strangely mingled feelings of sorrow and pride, that, by request, I present this book: sorrow, of such a kind that only those can know who, out of this world's time, have lost a rare and great friendship - the Author is no longer with us to publish these pages himself; pride, in this, the work of my best friend, which cannot help but give a glimpse of his charming mind and characteristic 'thoroughness.' Captain Cortlandt Gordon Mackenzie, best known to his friends, in the regiment and the fields of sport, as 'Corty,' succumbed to enteric fever at De Aar, in Cape Colony, on January 24, 1900. He was sent out to South Africa in July 1899, when war with the Transvaal Government looked imminent, to buy horses for the British Army.
