Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book invites readers to experience the vast and unforgiving Kalahari Desert through the eyes of a seasoned explorer. The author, a police ofcer in the Bechuanaland Protectorate, takes us on a journey through the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as he traverses this inhospitable region in pursuit of his duties, collecting hut tax for the British government. Beyond the immediate challenges of collecting taxes, this book delves into the complexities of colonial administration, the author's encounters with diverse native tribes, and the inherent dangers of navigating a largely uncharted landscape. While providing fascinating accounts of his hunting experiences, the author also reveals the harsh realities of life in the Kalahari, detailing the scarcity of water and the constant threat of dehydration. This firsthand perspective offers a unique insight into the struggles of early colonial expeditions in Africa, and provides a poignant illustration of the cost of both human and animal life in the pursuit of exploration and expansion. This book's meticulous record of hardship and triumph serves as a compelling testament to the resilience of those who dared to push the boundaries of human endeavor in the face of immense adversity.
