Seventeen Trips Through Somaliland PDF Download

In the intervening years, between 1884 and 1893, professional duties necessitated my undertaking several journeys in Somáliland, with the object of exploration. In the intervals between these journeys, the author devoted his periods of leave to hunting in that country. During a period of nine years he undertook seventeen separate journeys to the interior, and so became familiar with the chief elements of interest to be found there. The author's principal object in writing this book is to present phases of life in nomadic North-East Africa, and to supply detailed information of a nature that might prove useful to travelers and sportsmen who wish to visit that country. As the author and his brother have always been pioneering, the men who have followed in our footsteps have naturally had better opportunities for sport than we had, and the author only gives such of my more successful sporting experiences as will assist me in my main object of giving a general portrait of the country.
