Now that's special!


Siemel died about 1970. He HAD a museum in PA, with his wife Edith. He does not HAVE one now!


In the post above yours, a former family friend was trying to sell items from his estate!


BTW, if you have the paperback edition of, Death In the Silent Places, I wrote the review quoted up front, under the title, Gun Week. In it, I called Peter Capstick, "the principal chronicler of safari lore today". He was, and I miss him.


I think David Petzal wrote the review from, Field & Stream that looks like Hemingway's work. Because the reviews are cited by publication, not by writer, I don't know who wrote the other reviews.


I do know that I miss not being able to read and review new books by Peter. He left us too soon. I always thought a snake, a lion, or a buffalo would get him. In the end, he died in heart surgery, in Pretoria, not out in the bush.
