Excerpt from The Outspan: Tales of South Africa
The charm Of the life is indescribable, and none who have tasted it ever weary Of it, ever forget it, or cease to feel the longing to return when once they have quitted it.
It was in '91, the year after the pioneers cut their way through the Bush, with Selous to guide them, and occupied Mashonaland. We followed their trail and lived again their anxious nights and days, when they, a small handful in a dense Bush, at the mercy Of the Matabele thousands, did not know at what hour they would be pounced on and massacred.

Excerpt from The Outspan: Tales of South Africa
'There is no art in the Telling that can equal the consummate art of the Happening!'
It was a remark dropped by a forgotten someone in a prospector's hut one night, years and years ago, when we had exhausted snakes and hunting, lucky strikes and escapes, and had got away into coincidences. One of the party had been telling us an experience of his. He was introduced on the day he arrived to a man well known on the fields. It seemed quite impossible that they could have met before, for they compared dates and places for ten years back, and yet both were puzzled by the hazy suggestion of having seen the other before, and, in our friend's case, of something more definite. His remark to the other was:
'I can't help feeling that I saw you once in a devil of a fright somewhere - or dreamt it, I suppose!'

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a journey through the heart of the African bushveld in the late 19th century, vividly capturing the experiences of those who sought adventure, fortune, and a new life in this wild and untamed landscape. The author weaves together a series of captivating anecdotes, each revealing a unique facet of life on the frontier, from the camaraderie of the campfire to the unsettling encounters with the native peoples and the dangers lurking within the dense wilderness. The book's focus on trek fever, a peculiar craving that compels individuals to venture into the unknown, echoes the broader theme of the "call of the wild" that permeates adventure literature of the period. Through these interwoven tales, the author explores the complex interplay of civilization and savagery, the enduring allure of the untamed, and the enduring impact of individual choices on the journey of a lifetime. Ultimately, this book offers a powerful glimpse into the raw, unpredictable, and deeply human realities of life on the fringes of colonial expansion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
