Reign of terror lasted for years until they met up with George Rushby. A couple books about this man- “The Hunter is Death” and “No More The Tusker”. Both outstanding www.tomahawkoutdoors.com

What amazed me was that the natives didn't immediately get together and hunt down and kill those lions, rather than let so many of their people be killed. Keith

Keith They were employed by the railroad, building a bridge I think. Most likely unarmed. Some countries the lions are protected and the natives are basically a food base. That might have changed in the past years. Life ain't supposed to be easy.
