One of my favorite authors.
First of his I ever read was "A Time To Die" which was set in many of the areas I had hunted (Africa) that same year.
There were a great many that I enjoyed since.
I will miss both him, and the thought of another impending good read.
RIP Wilbur. The world lost another Great One today...

Thanks for this post. I did not know he had died but I love his writing. I will be reading them (ones I can locate) again.
