SCOTTY SMITH: SOUTH AFRICA'S ROBIN HOOD BY F C METROWICH. HARDCOVER, 1962, FULLY INACT DUST JACKET, NO INSCRIPTIONS OR NAMES, IN GOOD CONDITION. "Scotty Smith, bandit, highwayman, cattle thief, I.D.B., and certainly one of the most enigmatic characters ever known in Southern Africa. Part rogue, part hero; half a villain, the other half all Good Samaritan; no-body could ever quite make up their minds whether to love or hate him. Innumerable tales have been spun around this curious man. Now F. C. Metrowich has produced the first definitive biography of Scotty Smith, and the details of the bandits life provide reading at once astonishing and entertaining. Along with Dick Turpin, Robin Hood and Rob Roy of Britain, Ned Kelly of Australia, Billy the Kid of America, and the celebrated Till Eulenspiegel of Germany, Scotty Smith of South Africa joins the select ranks of the worlds most picturesque bad men." - Dust jacket
