African Native Notes and Reminiscences is a memoir written by Frederick Courteney Selous, a renowned African big-game hunter and explorer. Published in 1908, the book provides a vivid account of Selous' experiences in Africa, particularly his interactions with the native people of the continent. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of Selous' life in Africa. In the first chapter, Selous provides a brief overview of his early life and how he became interested in African exploration. He then goes on to describe his first trip to Africa, where he hunted big game and learned about the native cultures of the continent.Throughout the book, Selous provides detailed descriptions of the various tribes and ethnic groups he encountered during his travels. He discusses their customs, traditions, and beliefs, as well as their interactions with European colonizers. Selous also provides insights into the challenges and dangers of living in Africa, including the threat of disease and the constant danger of wild animals.In addition to his observations on African culture and society, Selous also shares his experiences as a big-game hunter. He describes his encounters with elephants, lions, and other dangerous animals, and provides tips and advice for aspiring hunters.Overall, African Native Notes and Reminiscences is a fascinating and informative account of life in Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Selous' vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes make the book an engaging read for anyone interested in African history, culture, and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
