Excerpt from Some African Highways: A Journey of Two American Women to Uganda and the Transvaal For instance: I am convinced that if women were to take up the art of scouting they would easily beat men at the game.

Book Description
Excerpt from Some African Highways: A Journey of Two American Women to Uganda and the Transvaal Much of the material in this volume first appeared in the Chicago Tribune in 1906. I have, however, added a good deal of new matter. I have taken especial pains to bring the chapter on Sleeping-sickness up to date, with the help of official reports furnished me by authorities in that part of Africa where this terrible scourge prevails. This narrative is, however, merely a description of a trip made by two American women to Uganda and the Transvaal. It is published with the hope of interesting other Americans in one of the most fascinating and unique tours in the world - a tour which can be made with entire safety and great comfort.

Pages : 32
Book Description
Excerpt from The Water Highways of the Interior of Africa: With Notes on Slave Hunting and the Means of Its Suppression With Maps The Council of the Philosophical Society of Glasgow having in contemplation the formation of a Geographical and Ethnological Section suggested my reading a Paper bearing on these depart ments of Science. The great problems of African geography which have just been solved, with some notice of the ethnological problems on which we are now entering, presented to my mind a suitable subject. If, in a general and introductory form, this Paper paves the way for the scientific treatment of these subjects by others at future meetings of the Society, I shall feel that my object has been attained. The subject is at present of intense public interest. While I have not hesitated to direct attention to questions of practical bearing and importance, I have endeavoured to do so by the statement of facts which are within the sphere of a Philosophical Society.
