Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1908, Two American Women Journey Through East and South Africa desribes a trip made by two American women to Uganda and the Transvaal in the hopes of inspiring other Americans to do the same. This fascinating tour of Africa opens the eyes of any traveller, in particular those that enjoy a more comfortable journey. Caroline Kirkland points out that it is possible to see the plains of Africa, rich with zebras, gnus, giraffes, and even lions, from a railway carriage window. Though only claiming to have touched the surface of the vast continent, she describes the African landscape as "dark, mysterious, violent and enchanting."
