William Stamps Cherry - They Called Me Demba Creecy is about the celebrated explorer in Africa at the turn of the century. Cherrys foremost reputation in 1901 was that of the American explorer who was the first white man to travel there and who turned on the light in the heart of Africa. His second reputation was that of a successful big-game hunter. This book explores that reputation and provides the reasons for why he was there when he was, and what and why he did what he did when he was there more than 120 years ago. This new book, William Stamps Cherry - They Called Me Demba Creecy is the backstory to the other book, William Stamps Cherry - Into the Dark Unknown - Central Africa in 1899, referred to as the explorers report. This book is referred to as the hunters report. In it you will meet his older step-brother, James Harvey, and his friend, Charles McClintock. You will learn much about ivory and African elephants. You will also learn much about real hunting in the wild. When you have finished reading, your big-picture perspective of this sensitive topic - elephant hunting - will be different than your current view. Please know that some of the events recorded are descriptively gruesome and not for the faint of heart. The objective of this historical record is to provide information for todays wildlife conservation and protection efforts and for the organizations involved pertaining to the Central African elephant. Because both of Cherrys reputations as explorer and hunter were secured at the same time, both books combined report the full story of this amazing piece of unknown world history.
