Author's Note: 'The purpose of this book is to share with the Anglophone world for the first time the remarkable life of Margarete Trappe against a backdrop of German and British colonial Africa. The story spans fifty momentous years, from 1907 to mid-1957.
'The focus of the book is the pioneering life of a young woman who lived through two world wars, raised a family in the very heart of uncontaminated African wilderness and forged a reputation as one of the most remarkable women of the 20th century colonial Africa. Farmer, equestrienne, livestock breeder, skilled amateur veterinarian, healer of humans, transport rider and intelligence operative during the First World War, formidable first full-time professional big game huntress in Africa, photographic and eco-safari leader, and protagonist of goodwill among the tribal peoples of her African home, Margarete Trappe gained legendary status during her extraordinary lifetime.'
