Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An African Adventure
Rom earliest boyhood when I read the works of Henry M. Stanley and books about Cecil Rhodes, Africa has called to me. It was not until I met General Smuts during the Great War, however, that I had a definite reason for going there.
After these late years of blood and battle America and Europe seemed tame. Besides, the economic war after the war developed into a struggle as bitter as the actual physical con ict. Discord and discon tent became the portion of the civilized world. I wan ted to get as far as possible from all this social unrest and financial dislocation.
So much interest was evinced in the magazine articles which first set forth the record of my jour ney that I was prompted to expand them into this book. It may enable the reader to discover a section of the one-time Dark Continent without the hard ships which I experienced.
