The Land of Footprints Book PDF Summary
"The Land of Footprints" is the memoir of Stewart Edward White of his African safari adventure. White spent a year in East Africa and shares the tale of his adventures there. He is however careful to avoid a romanticized view of the African continent, instead opting for a more realistic, albeit still interesting record, for as he states, "Probably each of us has his mental picture that passes as a symbol rather than an idea of the different continents. This is usually a single picture-a deep river, with forest, hanging snaky vines, anacondas and monkeys for the east coast of South America, for example. It is built up in youth by chance reading and chance pictures, and does as well as a pink place on the map to stand for a part of the world concerning which we know nothing at all. As time goes on we extend, expand, and modify this picture in the light of what knowledge we may acquire. So the reading of many books modifies and expands our first crude notions of Equatorial Africa. And the result is, if we read enough of the sort I describe above, we build the idea of an exciting, dangerous, extra-human continent, visited by half-real people of the texture of the historical-fiction hero, who have strange and interesting adventures which we could not possibly imagine happening to ourselves..."
