Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Conquest of the Desert This book has been written for the purpose of calling attention to that wonderful region entitled the Kalahari Desert or "Great Thirst Land." The desert may be roughly divided into two great divisions - the north and the south. The northern portion is at present under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Government, while the southern portion falls within the territory of the Union of South Africa. It is this latter portion and the surrounding country which I am about to describe. This is the most arid portion of the desert, and one of the driest places in the British Empire. The Conquest of the Desert opens up a vast country eminently suited to colonisation, while it offers to the youth of the Empire a healthful, profitable and fascinating life in a "Land of Eternal Sunshine."
