Sport in the Crimea and Caucasus

"Sport in the Crimea and Caucasus" is a travelogue by Wolley Phillipps. The book majorly sheds light upon travel hunting.

Sir Clive Phillipps-Wolley (1853 – 1918) was a British-Canadian official, author, and big game hunter. At age 20, Phillipps was appointed, to the vice-consulship of the British Legation in Kerch, Crimea. He explored and hunted big game in the Caucasus.

Excerpt:

"Scarcely a week's journey from London, with delicious climates and any quantity of game, it always seemed a marvel to me how few English sportsmen ever found their way to the Crimea or Caucasus. It is now something more than five years ago since I first made myself acquainted with the breezy rosemary-clad steppes of the former, or the low wooded hills on the Black Sea coast of the latter."
