A fascinating pioneer memoir of ranching in Rhodesia's Sabi Valley! This scarce Africana title chronicles Lucas Bridges' establishment of Devuli Ranch in territory deemed "unfit for white settlement" - battling lions, leopards, disease, and harsh conditions to prove the experts wrong.

About the Book: D.M. Somerville's account, edited by his daughter Veronica, captures the spirit of Rhodesian pioneering in the early 20th century. The book includes period photographs showing ranch life, wildlife, and the stunning Sabi Valley landscape.

Terms: No refunds/returns. Sold as-is.
