| Summary | "The Long Trail: A Story of African Adventure" by Herbert Strang is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows two Englishmen, Hugh Royce and Tom Challis, as they venture into the uncharted terrains of Northern Nigeria to explore and prospect for tin. Their journey is not just a quest for natural history and fortune; it becomes a survival tale marked by encounters with danger, including hostile tribes and the harsh realities of colonial life in Africa. At the start of the story, Royce and Challis, accompanied by a group of Hausa carriers, trek through the arid landscape near Lake Chad. Their initial optimism is shattered upon discovering a village recently ravaged by a tribal raid, leaving them without a safe place to rest or replenish supplies. As they navigate the challenges of their expedition, they must confront their fears of encounters with the notorious Tubus, a local tribe known for their violent raids. The opening chapters set a tone of suspense and foreboding while establishing the duo’s determination to push forward despite the escalating dangers they face.
