Slaves and Ivory

Darley recounts his travels from Mount Elgon in Uganda and through the

Karamojo district to reach Abyssinia. His first elephant was bagged virtually from

his sickbed (he was suffering an attack of fever at the time). Near the Lokulan

River, the author collected more elephant, then crossed the border to hunt

additional pachyderms in the Abyssinian hinterland. After leaving Addis

Ababa,there was continued hunting for big ivory in the region between the Sobat

River and the White Nile. The primary focus of this book is on the author's 

observations of the Ethiopian slave trade in the early 1920s. Original olive cloth with gilt titles and native vignette on spine. Cloth lightly rubbed. The original front free endpaper has been neatly re-attached. Illustrated with photo plates, a large folding map, and a single page map. Publisher's order form for this title laid-in.
