Summary "From Veldt Camp Fires" by H. A. Bryden is a collection of narratives that captures the stories and adventures of South African transport riders, penned in the late 19th century. The book delves into various tales, often shared around campfires, detailing encounters with the land's native inhabitants, fierce wildlife, and historical landscapes. It peeks into the rugged lifestyle of transport riders, highlighting their interactions and experiences as they traverse the vast African wilderness. The opening of this work introduces readers to the captivating world of transport riders, who convey their adventures next to their campfires. One night, while sharing a meal at a farmhouse, the narrator engages with two transport riders, who recount their journeys filled with peril and adventure. Their conversation shifts to the little-known Orange River and an extraordinary story about a man named Mowbray, who sought diamonds in an undiscovered valley along its banks. The narrative unfolds as Mowbray's adventures, his near-fatal encounters, and the secrets of wealth hidden within uncharted territories come to light, setting the stage for a gripping exploration of both the land and the nature of human endeavor.
