Rigby Undiscovered Corbett Book by Ian Douglas

A remarkable addition to any hunting, sporting, or firearms library, Undiscovered Corbett by Ian Douglas offers a deeper and more personal look into the life of legendary hunter and conservationist Jim Corbett.

Renowned for his courage, fieldcraft, and extraordinary tracking ability, Corbett remains one of the most respected figures in hunting history. His connection with John Rigby & Co. is legendary, most notably through the presentation of a .275 Rigby rifle following the killing of the infamous Champawat man-eating tigress in 1907 — a historic firearm that remains part of Rigby’s showroom collection today.

In this richly researched volume, Ian Douglas uncovers new dimensions of Corbett’s life through 90 previously unpublished photographs, private correspondence, personal reports, and historical records. Beyond the famous tiger hunts, the book explores Corbett’s friendships, passion for fishing, love of the Indian wilderness, and the firearms that accompanied him through some of history’s most dangerous hunts.

Beautifully presented and deeply engaging, Undiscovered Corbett provides fresh perspective on an iconic outdoorsman whose legacy continues to inspire hunters and adventurers around the world.

An essential read for admirers of Rigby heritage, classic hunting literature, and the golden age of safari.
