SO FEW ARE FREE - LAWRENCE G. GREEN IN SOUTH AFRICA

  So few are free - Lawrence G. Green - Howard Timmins - 1983, reprint - Hard cover with dust cover in very good, clean and tight condition. Descriptions of travels up the west coast of Southern Africa between Cape Town and the Kunene River, by road, sea and air, with anecdotes about the places and people in between. Many of the stories have to do with the discovery of diamonds on the west coast, and stories of diamong thieves and smugglers, and those who died in the desert looking for the precious stones. There are also accounts of shipwrecks, copper mines, outlaws and more as Green explores some of the forgotten byways of history and geography.
