African Camp Fires

Stewart Edward White

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2005

1928. Frontispiece. The book begins: There are many interesting hotels scattered about the world, with a few of which I am acquainted and with a great many of which I am not. Of course all hotels are interesting, from one point of view or another. In fact the surest way to fix an audience's attention is to introduce your hero, or to display your opening chorus in the lobby or along the facade of a hotel. The life, the movement and color, the shifting individualities, the pretense, the bluff, the self-consciousness, the independence, the ennui, the darting or lounging servants, the very fact that of those before your eyes seven out of ten are drawn from distant and scattered places, are sufficient in themselves to invest the smallest hostelry with glamour.

Notă biografică

Stewart Edward White was an American author, novelist, and spiritualist who lived from 12 March 1873 until September 18, 1946. He was Gilbert White's brother, a well-known muralist. White, the son of Mary E. (Daniel) and lumberjack Thomas Stewart White, was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He graduated from the University of Michigan after graduating from Grand Rapids High School (B.A., 1895; M.A., 1903). He wrote adventure and travel-related fiction and non-fiction from around 1900 to roughly 1922, with a focus on natural history and outdoor living. Beginning in 1922, he and his wife Elizabeth "Betty" Grant White published a number of publications they claimed to have received through mediumship. Additionally, they wrote about their excursions throughout the state of California. White passed away at the age of 73 in Hillsborough, California. At a period when America was losing its wildness, White's writings were well-liked. He was an astute observer of both natural and human beauty, and he could express them simply. He added witty and entertaining information about cabin-building, paddling, logging, gold-searching, and weapons, as well as fishing and hunting, whether he was writing camping journals or Westerns, based on his own experience.
