Anderson, Andrew A.
Twenty-Five Years in a Waggon in South Africa: Sport and Travel in South Africa
Illustrated by the author.
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Twenty-Five Years in a Waggon in South Africa" by Andrew A. Anderson is a historical travelogue written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the author’s extensive explorations and experiences in South Central Africa, primarily focusing on the regions north of the Cape Colony and the Congo area. The book aims to shed light on the physical geography of Africa and document the flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples of the region, making it a valuable resource for understanding the continent's landscape and cultures. The opening of the book introduces Anderson's motivations for his journey, highlighting the lack of detailed information about the territories he wishes to explore. He expresses a desire to not only pursue personal adventures but also to contribute to the geographical knowledge that could benefit future commercial interests. As he prepares for his expedition, we learn about his equipment, companions—particularly the Zulu boys who assist him—and the logistics involved in traveling such vast, uncharted land. Anderson's narrative promises a blend of detailed observations on geography, wildlife, and the indigenous peoples alongside personal anecdotes from his adventures, setting an engaging tone for his upcoming journeys into the unknown.
