Publisher's ochre cloth binding with illustrated dust jacket.
vii + 139pp. With 13 plates and 2 maps.
Book is divided into two parts with the first part being accounts of the various modern expeditions into the Kalahari desert in search of Farini's lost city. The three expeditions here recorded are:
1.) The Haldeman Expedition 2.) The Tainton-Hjalmar Reitz Expedition, and 3.) The Flower-Ibbetson Expedition.
It is specifically Dr Haldeman's account of his expedition into the Kalahari desert, appearing here in print for the first time, that will generate a renewed interest in this title for the fact that he was Elon Musk's grandfather.
The second part deals with the 1885 Kalahari expedition of the picturesque American adventurer G. A. Farini who unwittingly uncovered one of the most tantalizing mysteries that has plagued the speculative minds of men in Africa - the Lost City of the Kalahari!
