Synopsis "The Matabele Campaign, 1896 (Illustrated)"

Complete text of the Methuen first edition of 1897, word for wordAll 87 illustrations of the first edition, restoredThe Ground beyond the Limpopo and The Scout in the MatoposAbout the Author, Regimental Register and A Note on the Text"Incidentally I came in for a good taste of the best of all arts, sciences, or sports-'scouting.'" Robert Baden-Powell, To the Reader, 1897In March 1896 the Ndebele of Matabeleland rose against the British South Africa Company. Within days the outlying settlers had been killed or driven into laagers, and Buluwayo stood besieged by its own hinterland. In June the Shona of Mashonaland followed.London sent Major-General Sir Frederick Carrington to restore the country, and with him, as Chief Staff Officer, a cavalry officer of the 13th Hussars: Robert Baden-Powell.For eight months Baden-Powell organised supply across hundreds of miles of rinderpest-stricken veld, scouted the granite labyrinth of the Matopos alone and by night, rode with the columns against the strongholds of the rebel chiefs, and kept, for his mother, an illustrated diary of all of it.The Matabele Campaign, 1896 is that diary: written in the field, drawn on the spot, sometimes under fire. It is also the book in which the enemy's name for him, "Impeesa", first appears, and in which scouting first stands as the art he would make his own.This AETERNUS edition reproduces the complete text of the Methuen first edition of 1897, with all of the author's illustrations restored from the original printings.GREEN SERIES - AETERNUS Read more
