Extract of S. Garforth Pearson's diary for the Kaokoveldt Expedition, 1895-1896

Pearsons’s careful, and frequently arrogant, narrative presented here for the first time includes important information on ‘trekking’, the geography and wildlife of Namibia, gold mining frauds, white traders, the German colonial soldier, European towns, European-Boer, and European-African ‘race relations’ in the very young German colony of South West Africa.
