Book Review: New word - Safawesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great read. I knew Hunter was considered one of the best, but I had no idea how exciting this book would be. Hunter and Mannix relate interviews and spin stories of colonial Africa; short, concise and thrilling. We get to share adventures with white hunters, native tribes, dangerous slave traders, gentlemen adventurers, ferocious animals, stalwart missionaries, poachers, scoundrels and headhunters. A fascinating portrait of a time and a land long lost.
Summary of Tales of the African Frontier
The colorful characters of East Africa's early colonial period walk across the pages of this powerful book by John Hunter and Dan Mannix. Meet Tippu Tib, the greatest of all slave traders and the man who owned the slave responsible for killing the elephant with the biggest tusks ever recorded. Read how Ewart Grogan walked from the Cape to Cairo and how Joseph Thompson faced not only the ferocious Masai but also incredible hardships during his explorations into the interior of East Africa. Find out how John Boyes, elephant poacher extraordinaire, declared himself king of the Wa-Kikuyu and how Robert Foran, the notorious Lado Enclave ivory poacher, cheated Belgian and British authorities alike.East Africa Books
