SCARCE!! "THE BUSHMAN" BY E J DUNN, FIRST EDITION, 1931, HARDCOVER, NO NAMES OR INSCRIPTIONS, XII + 130 PAGES, WITH FRONTISPIECE AND 33 PLATES. IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.

The author was engaged in geological work in South Africa during the 1870's and 1880's. Although only an amateur ethnologist, he was meticulous in collecting examples of their material culture (stone tools). In his preface he states that the pure Bushman race is now extinct, and all reliable information about it should be carefully preserved.
'In 1872 I traversed Bushmanland for the Cape Government. In these days of motor cars it is scarcely possible for anyone to realize the remoteness of Bushmanland at that period, or the slowness of travelling by ox waggon. This expedition occupied nearly four months. During the trip I saw the last remnant of the yellow, or pure Bushman people, who were living in their own country, and amid their natural surroundings; they were still using their primitive stone, wood and bone implements and their own pottery. Some of those Bushmen were quite wild, and so dangerous that I was provided with an escort of fifteen troopers of the Northern Border Police.' An account of Dunn's expedition to Bushmanland was first published in the Cape Monthly Magazine of December 1872 & January 1873.
