Black and white photographs,drawings and maps illustrate the text. Autobiographical account of Bright's participation in African expeditions, June 1897 to September 1908. He was a candid observer and meticulous record-keeper, with a keen eye for details of places which were at the time largely unknown to the outside world. His diaries thus offer an unusual insider's look at the evolution of British colonial policy, as well as providing a factual account of daily life on these expeditions. "In presenting one section of the first diary, it is the editor's hope that an obscure but important aspect of the history of East Africa in the late 19th century will be illuminated. The introductory material is designed to make its significance more apparent to those who are not familiar with the times and places involved. " Fine in fine dust jacket.
