"Originally published in Swedish in 1899, this book by the traveller and explorer, Peter August Möller, describes his journey by ox-wagon in Angola, through Ovamboland and Damaraland to Walvis Bay. The Rudners' notes augment a wealth of first-hand information about this part of the country as it was at the end of the 19th century. Particularly interesting are the passages devoted to the native people, the Angola Trekkers and to wild-life. Also of interest is Möller's account of the death of Charles John Andersson, the famous naturalist and explorer, as related to him by the pioneer and hunter, Axel Eriksson. The description of hunts and his photographs of native life are of special interest. This book is a valuable source of information to students of anthropology, zoology and history."
