About this ebook
Twelve short stories centered around British officials in colonial Africa, part of the series by the early twentieth-century writer famous for King Kong.
Readers of Edgar Wallace's Sanders of the River series will enjoy these sharp-witted adventure stories featuring Captain Hamilton and the inexperienced Lt. Augustus "Bones" Tibbetts. These sensational tales, more than a century old, reflect some of the attitudes of the time, but also provide a fascinating window into the culture and mindset of the historical British empire and life in Africa under foreign rule—which was directly observed by the author as both a soldier and a war correspondent during the Second Boer War, who also reported on atrocities in the Belgian Congo.
