Farini was a showman who once walked across the Niagra Falls on a tightrope. He explored the Kalahari in search of diamonds, cattle ranching areas, scientific information and adventure. His son, Lulu, did some of the sketches and photographs in the book. Near the Nossob River, they came upon what seemed to be the ruins of a city.
