Book excerpt: In all of African history, there is no one quite like John Boyes. There have been better hunters, and certainly greater explorers. Although he's very readable, there have been finer writers. But when it comes to the category of Opportunist, Boyes' names stands out from all the others: he was, in his life, hunter, explorer, trader, ivory poacher, gambler, reprobate, soldier, and yes, even king. From the age of 14 when he hopped a ship bound for distant ports, Boyes' exemplified the renegade African adventurer, making a name for himself by overcoming man-eating lions, disease, drought, and hostile tribes.

Book excerpt: The remarkable true adventures of John Boyes, trader and soldier of fortune, who became king of the savage WA-KIKUYU.Back in 1911, The adventures John Boyes underwent were something quite out of the ordinary. Today, the opportunities of such adventure get more and more remote, and as the uttermost parts of the earth is under the influence of civilization will be ever more impossible. For this reason alone an incredible story such as told here seems to be worth recording.The reader will judge for himself as to the interest of the raw, two-fisted tales here related. Anyone will admit that no ordinary force of character was necessary to carry them through to a successful issue. The whole life of the author during the time he was a wanderer in the Kikuyu country, and later while he was practically supreme ruler of the tribe-a tribe numbering half a million of people-was one of imminent daily risk, courage, nerve, and resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A White King in East Africa: The Remarkable Adventures of John Boyes, Trader and Soldier of Fortune, Who Became King of the Savage Wa-Kikuyu He appears to have been harshly treated by the British East Africa authorities. Doubtless much that he did was grossly misrepresented to them by more or less interested parties. He certainly did yeom'an's service to the colony in its early days by opening up an unknown and hostile country which lay right on the border land of the Uganda Railway, at that time in course of construction. His energetic action enabled the coolies on the line to work safe from many hostile attacks. =he supplied them with the food without which they would have starved - all for a very small reward, and at great personal risk to himself. But the love of adventure was in him, and such people do not work for profit alone. The life itself brings its own reward.
