Work on the life and adventures of the well known William Cotton Oswell. A highly important book on the exploration and discoveries of the dark continent. Oswell had a rendezvous with Livingstone and guided Livingstone during much of his travels. Contains hunting for buffalo on the Limpopo River, and elephant near the Zouga River. Also hippo and rhino.
