Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Africa Speaks: A Story of Adventure, the Chronicle of the First Trans-African Journey by Motor Truck From Mombasa on the Indian Ocean to Lagos on the Atlantic, Through Central Equatorial Africa
The material for the film, Africa Speaks, was col lected during the expedition's travels in Africa, but in editing a motion picture for the general public, it is essential to take a few liberties in order to construct a smooth-running continuity, and to build dramatic incidents. In the film, the course of the expedition moves from west to east, so that the lions and other exciting scenes woven around them can act as the climax of the production. There are very few lions on the West Coast and no tribesmen comparable to the Masai and Nandi. Otherwise it would have been possible to follow in the picture the actual route of the expedition just as it will be presented in this book; that is, east to west.
