Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Land of Footprints is an African travelogue by Stewart Edward White that tells of exciting hunting adventures in British East Africa and includes the following exerpt: Now, one day we left the Isiola River and cut across on a long upward slant to the left. In a very short time we had left the plains, and were adrift in an ocean of brown grass that concealed all but the bobbing loads atop the safari, and over which we could only see when mounted. It was glorious feed, apparently, but it contained very few animals for all that. An animal could without doubt wax fat and sleek therein: but only to furnish light and salutary meals to beasts of prey. Long grass makes easy stalking. We saw a few ostriches, some giraffe, and three or four singly adventurous oryx. The ripening grasses were softer than a rippling field grain; and even more beautiful in their umber and browns. Although apparently we travelled a level, nevertheless in the extreme distance the plains of our hunting were dropping below, and the far off mountains were slowly rising above the horizon. On the other side were two very green hills, looking nearly straight up and down, and through a cleft the splintered snow-clad summit of Mt. Kenia.

Book excerpt: "A notable book adventures with lion and buffalo... thrilling...his account of his gun bearers of the natives and great beasts by which he was continually surrounded is most interesting." -Theodore Roosevelt In Stewart Edward White's 1912 book "The Land of Footprints", we have his true life account of his hunting trip in Africa, and one that is well worth reading. Theodore Roosevelt, also of African hunting fame, says that Mr. White's book is "notable" and "firstclass," and that as a game-shot with a rifle the author is beyond reproach. Such credentials from a master of the chase certainly establish Mr. White's position in the ranks of the big-game hunters-if he needs to be vouched for. Nor will the reader who never handles a gun find the volume lacking in interest. He can here enjoy in fireside safety adventures with animals at all times interesting and often thrilling. But there is more in Mr. White's book than stories of hunting. Interesting glimpses of the life and customs of the peoples of the districts traversed are given, and many entertaining stories and episodes of this "safari," or hunting expedition, are told-some of them with a strong element of humor. White's safari book was well received at its time of publication: "What he has tried to bring out in this book is the real Africa and the dangers as well as the delights to the sportsman of big game hunting in the last great preserve of wild animals in the world scored a success largely because of his literary ability and because he has tried to tell the plain truth." -San Francisco Chronicle "A really enthralling tale of experienced adventure in the style that only the well known author of Arizona Nights and The Mystery can command. We have Stanley's Darkest Africa a doleful dismal book. We have Roosevelt's Africa, mostly Roosevelt. Mr White now gives us the real Africa." -Boston Transcript Of the character of the lion, White writes: "To me the lion is an object of great respect; and so, I gather, he is to all who have had really extensive experience. Those like Leslie Tarleton, Lord Delamere, W. N. MacMillan, Baron von Bronsart, the Hills, Sir Alfred Pease who are great lion men, all concede to the lion a courage and tenacity unequalled by any other living beast." Of the rhinoceros, White states: "He lives a self-centred life, wrapped up in the porcine contentment that broods within nor looks abroad over the land. When anything external to himself and his food and drink penetrates to his intelligence he makes a flurried fool of himself, rushing madly and frantically here and there in a hysterical effort either to destroy or get away from the cause of disturbance. He is the incarnation of a living and perpetual Grouch." According to Mr. White, there are four dangerous kinds of African big game-the lion, the rhinoceros, the elephant, and the buffalo. He does not seem to have come in contact with the elephant, but with the other animals enumerated he enjoyed sundry exciting adventures which furnish enjoyable thrills for the appreciative reader. Aside from the incidents of the hunt, the book gives an unusually clear impression of the African landscape. On an expedition like the one described, a large native escort is necessary. To Mr. White the members of this escort were individuals, and an attractive feature of the book is to be found in his kindly references to them. That there was no weak sentimentality in this attitude, however, is perfectly clear after reading the chapter on managing a "safari." Other books by White on his African safari travels include: The Rediscovered Country African Camp Fires Simba
