The Bushman is a non-fiction book written by Edward Wilson Landor. It is a detailed account of his travels through the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa in the late 19th century. The book provides a fascinating insight into the lives and culture of the San people, also known as Bushmen, who are one of the oldest indigenous groups in Africa.Landor's journey takes him through the remote and harsh landscape of the Kalahari, where he encounters various groups of Bushmen and learns about their unique way of life. He describes their hunting and gathering practices, their customs and beliefs, and their complex language and communication systems.The book is also a reflection of Landor's own experiences and observations of the Bushmen. He writes about his interactions with them, his struggles to communicate with them, and his attempts to understand their way of life. He also discusses the impact of European colonization on the Bushmen and the challenges they faced in adapting to the changing world around them.Overall, The Bushman is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known culture and a valuable historical document of the time. It provides a unique perspective on the lives of the Bushmen and their place in the wider world.Dreadful was the scene; the furious donkeys nearing and striking with their fore-feet, and biting each other about the head and neck without the smallest feeling of compunction or remorse; the two guides shrieking and swearing in Portuguese at the donkeys and each other, and striking right and left with their long staves, perfectly indifferent as to whom they hit; the unhappy riders, furious with fright and chagrin, shouting in English to the belligerents of both classes to keep off!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
