Product details
This biography on Frederick Stanley Arnot, based on considerable research and giving, in particular, an accurate record of his first and most fabulous journey during the years 1881 - 88, is not only a record of travel but a gripping saga of a lone missionary's adventures and his ideals and service.
And as it unfolds, so the pages of history turn: the death of David Livingstone, the race for conquest between Rhodes' men from the south and King Leopold's mercenaries from the north the rise and fall of Mushidi and the raising of the Congo Free Sate Flag over Katanga - the ""Aladdin's Cave"" of Central Africa the scramble for the rest of the Congo, the horror of slave raids, the blood-lust of African kings, the inter-tribal wars and witchcraft in its vilest form.
Wine red cloth binding with titles in gilt to the spine. 191 pages. Black and white illustrations, frontispiece. Dust jacket has some edge wear. A good copy.
1960 first edition hardcover with dust jacket and 191 pages in good condition.
