Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Matabele Campaign, 1896: Being a Narrative of the Campaign in Suppressing the Native Rising in Matabeleland and Mashonaland My dear Mother, - It has always been an understood thing between us that when I went on any trip abroad, I kept an illustrated diary for your particular diversion. So I have kept one again this time, though I can't say that I'm very proud of the result. It is a bit sketchy and incomplete, when you come to look at it. But the keeping of it has had its good uses for me. Firstly, because the pleasures of new impressions are doubled if they are shared with some appreciative friend (and you are always more than appreciative). Secondly, because it has served as a kind of short talk with you every day. Thirdly, because it has filled up idle moments in which goodness knows what amount of mischief Satan might not have been finding for mine idle hands to do! To the Reader. The following pages contain sketches of two kinds, namely, sketches written and sketches drawn. They were taken on the spot during the recent campaign in Matabelelaud and Mashonaland, and give a representation of such part of the operations as I myself saw. They were jotted down but roughly, at odd hours, often when one was more fit for sleeping than for writing, or in places where proper drawing materials were not available - I would ask you, therefore, to look leniently upon their many faults. The notes, being chiefly extracts from my diary and from letters written home, naturally teem with the pronoun, "I," which I trust you will pardon, but it is a fault difficult to avoid under the circumstances. They deal with a campaign remarkable for the enormous extent of country over which it was spread, for the varied components and inadequate numbers of its white forces, and especially for the difficulties of supply and transport under which it was carried out - points which, I think, were scarcely fully realized at home. The operations were full of incident and interest, and of lessons to those who care to learn. Personally, I was particularly lucky in seeing a good deal of Matabeleland, and something of Mashonaland, as well as in having a share in the work of organization in the office, and in afterwards testing its results in the field. Incidentally I came in for a good taste of the best of all arts sciences, or sports - "scouting." For these reasons I have been led to offer these notes to the public, in case there might be aught of interest in them. The "thumbnail" sketches claim the one merit of having been done on the spot, some of them under fire. Several of the illustrations have also appeared in the Graphic and Daily Graphic, and are here reproduced through the courtesy of the proprietors of those journals.

This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before he found fame as the triumphant defender of Mafeking in the Boer War, Robert Baden-Powell, later the founder of the worldwide Scout movement, was a notable colonial soldier in India and Africa and recorded his exploits in a number of books. This is his account of his campaign to put down a revolt against British rule raised by the warlike Matabele tribe in the territory that later became Rhodesia and is today's Zimbabwe. This lavishly illustrated book - it carries 100 drawings, photos and and maps, some drawn in B.Ps own hand, for he was as gifted an artist as he was a warrior - is the great man's own campaign diary. The ideals of the Scout movement he would one day lead were already forming in B.P's head, for the book is full of advice to 'Be Prepared' - later the Scout movement's motto, - as well as unconscious humour such as the caption to a picture of B.P charging down rocks hotly pursued by Matabele warriors: 'When pursued by the Matabele among the boulders of the Matopo country it was of the greatest advantage to be equipped with rubber-soled shoes, and to have that command of your feet which is acquired in the practice of skirt-dancing'. More than just a curio of a colonial campaign, this book is a fascinating compendium of scouting lore and a must for anyone interested in Africa.
