Camp Fire Yarns of the Lost Legion (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Camp Fire Yarns of the Lost Legion IN introducing these yarns let me state that now I am laid up on the Shelf my thoughts go back to those days and nights Of the veld and bush, and I frequently feel I would give all the rest Of the map if I could again find myself on the open lands Of the frontier with a good horse between my knees and a few score Of the Old boys behind me. Now I hold pen instead Of carbine and revolver, but why Should memories of the Old days pass away? Let me fancy I sit by the camp fire again, telling yarns as we used to under the dark blue skies and blazing stars of South Africa.
