Description

First published in 1907, this book relates visits to Algeria made by M. W. Hilton-Simpson in the winters of 1903 and 1905. During these visits, Hilton-Simpson traveled to Algiers and into the Algerian hinterland by camel and horse. He spent time among the Arabs and the Kabyle Berbers, observing their lifestyles and especially their horsemanship. He also hunted gazelles, wild boar, partridges and other animals.

Included within the book are detailed descriptions of the scenery of Algiers and the habits and customs of the Algerians. The book also contains 32 black-and-white photographs.
