William Baldwin

He only wrote one book, based upon 8 years' worth of hunting in southern Africa. The first edition is rare.

"Baldwin arrived in Durban in 1851 having been attracted to South Africa by Cumming’s Five Years of a Hunter’s Life published in 1850. He made several hunting expeditions to Zululand, Marico, Matabeleland and Lake Ngami. In April 1860 he again left for Potchefstroom intent on reaching the Victoria Falls, which he succeeded in doing more by luck than good management, on August 3rd. He was the second white man to see the falls, the first to have reached them from the east coast (Natal), and the first to describe them with exactness and give their true dimensions, the accuracy of which he vouched for to David Livingstone himself, when the great explorer arrived about 8th or 9th August." -- Dictionary of South African Bibliography
