Présentation de l'éditeur
Preface The first object of my travels was to ascertain what parts of the interior are suitable for white settlement, and calculated by climate and natural resources to furnish a livelihood for the pioneer who is prepared to take his fortune in both hands and hazard it upon the issue of his own hard work in a new land. In the remote parts which I proposed to visit, it was more than possible that I should discover unknown natural products, and my second object was to seek these and to collect specimens of geological, botanical, and zoological interest. The sporting side of my expedition was entirely subordinate. I shot only for the pot and to save and protect human life. The reader who looks for sporting adventures in the pages that follow will be disappointed. I travelled north through Southern Rhodesia, cut a path through Northern Rhodesia and the eastern part of the Congo territory, visiting Tanganyika and German East A frica, and reaching civilisation again by way of the Nile. The length of my entire march was 8000 miles and the time occupied was eighteen months. The journey ftright be described as one from Cape Town to Cairo. I recognise that I can say little that is new regarding British South A frica, and Egypt has been the inspiring subject of abler pens than I can wield.
