Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from How We Made Rhodesia Encouraged, generally, by the present outlook in South Africa, but by the Matabele crisis in particular, I offer these reminiscences to the public with much diffidence, yet in the hope that they will interest Englishmen at home, to know how a possession equal in area to France and Germany, was added to the Empire through the vigorous measures of able men. A splendid trophy it was - achieved by the clear heads, cool hearts, and strong hands of men of action, by the right men in the right place, by pioneers of civilisation and of Great Britain´s exuberant vitality, ceaseless activity, and adventurous energy. They were stigmatised by some of their own countrymen as adventurers; and adventurers most certainly they were, but only in the true spirit and liberal sense of adventure. Men, with names such as Rhodes and Jameson at their head, of whom not only Great but Greater Britain should be proud! Men of the stamp who have made England and her colonies what they are, and who, if England to herself prove true, will make them even greater!
