About This Book

The author recounts eleven years living in the East African interior, narrating long marches from the coast to inland stations, the founding and daily running of a remote settlement, and interactions with local leaders and communities. She describes logistical challenges—river crossings, illness, difficult terrain—plus household management, agriculture, livestock, hunting, markets, and occasional military expeditions. Interleaved are observations on climate and landscape, linguistic notes on local terms, and appeals to readers to support colonial development through migration and infrastructure such as railways.
