The Lion and the Elephant, Vol. 1

by Charles John Andersson

Excerpt from The Lion and the Elephant, Vol. 1
The late Charles John Andersson, the well known traveller in Africa, and author of "Lako Ngami" and "The Okovango River," ended his days miserably, as so many other enterprising men have done before him, in the wilds of that continent, leaving behind him voluminous papers and notes, which are now in my possession.

About the author

Karl Johan (Charles John) Andersson (4 March 1827 in Värmland, Sweden – 9 July 1867 in Angola) was a Swedish explorer, hunter and trader as well as an amateur naturalist and ornithologist.

He is most famous for the many books he published about his travels, and for being one of the most notable explorers of southern Africa, mostly in present-day Namibia.

Reviews

[Wade Burgess]

I read about half of this one, but it did not keep me engaged. Too much of the content is Andersson quoting other writers. I think Andersson’s LAKE NGAMI is phenomenal, but this was not enough Andersson for my taste.
