Publisher's Synopsis

""Among Swamps and Giants in Equatorial Africa"" is a travelogue written by Herbert Henry Austin, an English explorer who undertook surveys and adventures in the Southern Sudan and British East Africa in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed account of Austin's experiences in the African wilderness, where he encountered various tribes, animals, and natural wonders. The author describes his encounters with the Nuer and Dinka tribes, their customs, and their way of life. He also recounts his encounters with elephants, lions, and other wild animals, as well as the challenges of navigating through the swamps and forests of Equatorial Africa. The book provides a fascinating insight into the life of an explorer in Africa and is a valuable historical document that captures the spirit of adventure and discovery that characterized this era of exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
