By Parker Gillmore

Book Overview

""A Ride Through Hostile Africa: With Adventures Among The Boers"" is a travelogue written by Parker Gillmore, a British journalist who embarked on a perilous journey through Africa in the late 19th century. The book chronicles his travels through various African territories, including present-day Zimbabwe and South Africa, during a time when the continent was still largely unexplored by Europeans.Gillmore's journey was not without danger, as he faced numerous obstacles and hostile encounters along the way. He describes encounters with wild animals, treacherous terrain, and encounters with various African tribes, including the Boers, who were known for their fierce resistance to British colonial rule.Throughout the book, Gillmore provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, people, and cultures he encounters, as well as his own personal reflections on the challenges he faces. The book is a fascinating and insightful look into the early days of European exploration and colonialism in Africa, and a testament to the courage and resilience of those who dared to venture into the unknown.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
