Description
In 1893, Morris Langbourne makes a bold decision to head north into Africa. He is joined by his younger brother David as they embark on a new adventure - setting up business as traders. After three months of walking through the African bush with six wagons laden with goods, they establish their first warehouse in KoBulawayo. However, their business is soon affected by a growing political impasse between the European Administration and King Lobengula's Ndebele army. A brief and savage war erupts, putting David's life at risk when he tries to rescue a friend. Undaunted, Morris sets his mind to recover their pride, reputation, and business. Based on a true story and actual events, this book tells the remarkable tale of the Langbourne brothers' journey through Africa in the late 19th century.
