Excerpt from From Cataract to EquatorNo attempt is made in the following pages to go into details of the origin, life, customs, etc., of the various wild tribes that habitat in this central por tion of the great continent: the typical difierences and racial characteristics are those that anyone can see at a glance if they see what they look at but the trip is one of such varied, new experiences, so full of the novelty of that which is old by many a thousand years, and yet perhaps seeming old because of some dim, atavistic tendencies yet lin gering in the blood, that I cannot but hope that life. Reader may find throbbing within his heart °sonie chord responsive to the brotherhood far removed physically of the denizens of these sun-haunted regions, and may receive some, at ileast, of the pleasure and delights of the tropic days which the author felt in following the Nile mother of earth's earliest known civiliza tion towards its source.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
