Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Inscribed by the author on the front flyleaf. Classic account of Burnham's military experiences in British Southern Africa during the 1890s. An American who had served as a frontier and Indian scout for the U.S. Army, Burnham (1861-1947) left the Old West for Africa where this background proved useful. He soon became an officer in the British Army, serving in several battles there. During this time, Burnham became friends with Robert Baden-Powell, and passed on to him both his outdoor skills and his spirit, thus becoming one of the inspirations for the founding of the international Scouting Movement. Octavo: xxii, [2], 370 p. with a frontispiece portrait and numerous textual illustrations. Original blue cloth binding, with gilt titles. Period newspaper clippings related to Burnham have been pasted to the verso of the front flyleaf and the front pastedown, with offsetting to the opposing leaves. The front hinge is just starting and still quite sound. Some mild fading along the spine, with a bit of wear to the corners and tips; else very good.
