208pp. Original cloth hardcover with price unclipped d/w.

Previous owner's rubber stamp to back of frontispiece. Apart from a few tears to d/w, this book is in very good condition indeed.

Here are the Kalahari solitudes and the lonely stretches of the Orange River - but always the characters stand out against the back-ground. Explorers, hunters, half-castes, Bushmen, pioneer farmers, policemen, outlaws, priests, trekboers, prospectors; these are the people of the book and the river is the thread that links them.

'To The River's End' received glowing reviews in newspapers throughout the Union and Rhodesia. "Lawrence G. Green now stands in the forefront of South African authors and is pre-eminent in his own chosen field....To the River's End is tingling reading with the smell of woodsmoke and the glitter of far stars in it."
