Opis: A Tale of the African Veldt (Classic Reprint) - Jewell Mrs. Fletcher Webster

Excerpt from A Tale of the African Veldt

Recent events, tragic and deplorable, have centred the world's gaze upon South Africa. Whatever be the outcome of the present unhappy contest, the country, its people, institutions, and characteristics, will now be as well known as Central Europe. But a very short time ago it was practically less familiar to most readers than was Central Africa, the heart of the dark continent, for upon the latter the lights of Du Chaillu, Livingstone, and Stanley had been flashed. I shared the common knowledge and general ignorance about the South, until one long pleasant afternoon in London I got my first true glimpse of the land, its people - or rather peoples - and the cloud that was forming over them, and which has since burst in fury.
