Book Description
Excerpt from Between Sun and Sand: A Tale of an African Desert Est the account given in this book of the trekking springbucks should be con sidered an exaggeration, it may be mentioned that in 1892, when the author held the appoint ments of Civil Commissioner for Namaqualand and Special Magistrate for the Northern Border of the Cape Colony, he was obliged to issue a hundred stand of Government arms to the Boers for the purpose of driving back the game which threatened to overrun those parts of Namaqualand where ground is cultivated. As it was, there was some difficulty in re pelling the invasion. The term Bushman, strictly speaking, only applies to the diminutive former inhabi tants of the Desert, who are now practically extinct to the south of the Orange River. The trek-boer, however, usually calls every Hottentot of low stature a Bushman.1. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Gateway to the Sahara: Adventures and Observations in Tripoli Nowhere in Northern Africa can the life Of town, oasis, and desert be found more native and typical than in Tripolitania. How long before the primitive customs of this people will give way before the progressive aggression of some Christian power, and the picture Of an ancient patriarchal life be tarnished with the cheap veneer of a commercial vanguard, may be answered any morning by the cable news of the daily paper. The great dynamic forces of modern civiliza tion cause events to march with astounding swiftness. Tripoli, in Barbary, is already in the eye of Europe; to-morrow the Tripoli of to-day may have vanished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Rip Van Winkle of the Kalahari and Other Tales of South-West Africa most of these stories were written on the veldt; at odd times, in out-of-the-way prospecting camps, in the wilds of the Kalahari Deser, or of that equally little-known borderland between Klein Namaqualand, and Gordonia, Cape Colony, and what was at that time known as German South-West Africa. Four of them appeared a few years back in The State - an illustrated magazine now unhappily defunct: the others, though written about the same time, have never been published. And now, time and circumstances have combined to bring the scene in which they are laid most prominently before the public.
