Description
First edition of Sir James Percy FitzPatrick’s second published book, issued a full decade before his legendary South African classic, Jock of the Bushveld (1907).
The work serves as a critical historical blueprint for the themes of "trek-fever" and wilderness adventure that FitzPatrick would later masterwork. First editions are exceptionally thin on the ground, making this a premier acquisition for collectors of Africana and early colonial adventure literature.
Inscribed “With best Love to Eleanor / May . 97 / B.H. Tracey”.
