First published in 1915, these seven stories exemplify the beautiful, but arid and treacherous area that forms part of the Kalahari Desert in South Africa and Namibia (then South-West Africa). Most of these stories were written on the veldt; at odd times, in out- of-the-way prospecting camps, or in the wilds of the Kalahari Desert. They bring us reminiscences of a long-forgotten era and of a variety of fascinating characters and dangerous animals that roamed this area.
