Photos are all of the same book with recent photos on a white background. Price has been reduced significantly. Very scarce volume.
Hard cover in fairly good condition for its age as per photo. The front cover is very faded. The photo page is loose at the top. It looks like it has been rebound as the inside cover pages are different.
All 16 illustrations intact. No tissue paper on the title page. A very nice Ex Libris stamp on the inside front cover.
Reminiscences of a South African Pioneer is an autobiographical book by W. C. Scully, one of South Africa's best-known authors, first published in 1913. The author lived there for around forty-five years. Beginning with his childhood in Ireland and his immigration to Cape Town when he was around eleven years old, he writes about big-game hunting, the town natives, and his subsequent travels around South Africa, as well as being one of the first ones to take advantage of the discovery of gold and diamonds in the country. In later life, Scully was appointed to investigate war crimes by the British forces during the Boer War.
