Baden-Powell, The Hero Of Mafeking is a book written by W. Francis Aitken in 1900. The book is a biography of Robert Baden-Powell, a British Army officer who is best known for founding the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides movements. The book focuses on Baden-Powell's heroic actions during the Siege of Mafeking in South Africa during the Second Boer War. Baden-Powell was the commander of the British garrison in Mafeking, which was under siege by Boer forces for 217 days. Despite being heavily outnumbered and outgunned, Baden-Powell managed to hold out until reinforcements arrived. The book also covers Baden-Powell's earlier military career, including his service in India and Africa. It explores his experiences as a scout and his development of scouting techniques, which would later form the basis of the Boy Scouts movement. Overall, Baden-Powell, The Hero Of Mafeking is a tribute to a remarkable man who demonstrated bravery and leadership in the face of adversity. It provides insight into the life and career of a military hero who went on to inspire generations of young people around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
