Scouting on Two Continents

About this Item

370 pages. Illustrations photos in b/w. The author was an American who, after spending his early years in the tough pioneering communities of the West, heard and obeyed the call to Africa. He had afluent pen, a flair for the sensational and the ability to involve himself, directly and intimately, in dramatic events. Burnham writes racily of his youth and early manhood in the American outdoors, and thereafter devotes most of the book to his experiences as a Scout (and later as Lord Roberts' Chief of Scouts) in the War of 1893, the Matabele War of 1893, the Matabele Rebellion of 1896 and in the Anglo-Boer War. Near very good hardback, rubbed at edges in a good dustjacket rubbed and edge-worn too. Seller Inventory # HSH05040
