Baker is a non-fiction work written during the late 19th century. This book serves as a detailed account of the author's adventures and experiences in hunting, wildlife, and the natural world across various continents. It likely explores the challenges and techniques of hunting large game as well as the author's reflections on the animals encountered throughout his expeditions. The opening of the book delves into the evolution and technicalities of rifles used in hunting over the past half-century. Baker discusses early firearms, particularly the smooth-bore muskets, their limitations, and the advancements made in rifle design, especially in terms of accuracy and power. He shares his personal experience with the introduction of rifles to places like Ceylon and details the modifications he proposed and successfully implemented to improve riflery in hunting dangerous game. Overall, this initial portion of the text serves to set the stage for a deeper exploration of hunting practices and a reflection on the relationship between humans and the wild during that historical period.
