Scouting On Two Continents is a book written by Major Frederick Russell Burnham, a renowned American scout and adventurer. The book is a memoir of Burnham's experiences as a scout and explorer in Africa and North America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Burnham's adventures in Africa. Burnham was involved in the Second Matabele War and the Second Boer War, where he served as a scout for the British Army. He recounts his experiences in these conflicts, including his interactions with famous figures such as Cecil Rhodes and Lord Roberts. Burnham also describes his encounters with African wildlife and his observations of the local cultures.The second part of the book focuses on Burnham's experiences in North America. He was involved in the Apache Wars and the Spanish-American War, where he served as a scout for the United States Army. Burnham recounts his adventures in the American West, including his interactions with Native American tribes and his role in the capture of Geronimo. He also describes his experiences during the Spanish-American War, including his involvement in the Battle of Manila.Overall, Scouting On Two Continents is a fascinating account of Burnham's life as a scout and adventurer. It provides a unique perspective on the conflicts and cultures of Africa and North America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This is a new release of the original 1926 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
