CHIMP ON MY SHOULDER by Bill Westley

CHIMP ON MY SHOULDER

By

Pub Date: Oct. 13th, 1950
Publisher: Dutton

An enthralling account of chimpanzee and ape hunting in Africa for the Denis-Roosevelt Chimpanzee Farm and Anthropoid Ape Research Foundation at Dania, Florida. Monkeys are of unfailing interest and there are plenty of them here -- including a pigmy chimp who likes his scotch and soda and became a sergeant-major in a British Army unit there. There is also a revealing picture of present day Africa and the conflicts of civilizations.
