| Summary | "Settlers and Scouts: A Tale of the African Highlands" by Herbert Strang is a historical fiction novel, likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the challenges faced by pioneers in British East Africa as they attempt to establish a new life amidst the hazards of the untamed wilderness. The main characters include Mr. David Halliday and his son John, who embark on an emigrant journey to the East African highlands in pursuit of agricultural opportunities and a fresh start. The beginning of the novel introduces the Hallidays as they travel from Mombasa towards Nairobi, filled with excitement about their new adventure. Mr. Halliday, who has faced personal losses and economic setbacks, seeks to settle in the promising highlands of Kenya with his son, who is eager to explore the natural wonders of the region. As they navigate the lush landscapes and encounter various characters, including a peculiar Bengali named Said Mohammed, they are forewarned about the challenges that lie ahead—from wild animals to negotiating with local tribes. The initial chapters effectively set the stage for the Hallidays' trials and experiences as they cope with the realities of settling in an exotic and dangerous land.
