Description
Excerpt from Rhodesia of to-Day: A Description of the Present Condition, and the Prospects of Matabeleland Mashonaland
For the first seven months of this year, that is, for nearly the whole of the rainy season and for a considerable portion of the dry, I was travelling in Matabelelan d and Mashonaland. I entered the country by way of Tati and Buluwayo, and, after having wandered some twelve hundred miles throughout its length and breadth, went out by Manica and Beira. I was thus enabled to gain a fair knowledge of this the first occupied and first to be developed portion of the vast territories which are within the sphere of the British South Africa Company's operations. It is my intention to summarise my experiences in this little work, and to present a general survey of the country as I found it.
