description:
Illustrated. Original cloth; spine frayed and darkened; sitching needs tightening. Lady Florence (1857-1905) was the daughter of the Marquis of Queensbury and went to South Africa as the first official war correspondent, covering the Boer War for the Morning Post. She spent most of her time astride a horse hunting rather than reporting the war and the text reflects her interest in sport and exotic meals. This extraordinary Lady also wrote "Across Patagonia" 1880.
