Big-game hunting and trading in Central Africa from 1894 to 1904. The
Robert Wright memoirs are an interesting and sometimes humorous window
into the life of the European pioneers of Northern Rhodesia and the
British East African Protectorate from 1894 to 1904. Robert and his
brother David were initially employed as coffee farmers in the Blantyre
district. Their sense of adventure soon led them to start a business
hunting trophy animals and trading for ivory and rubber from Lake
Tanganyika to the Katanga province of the Congo. Robert was a keen
photographer and fortunately many of his photographs have survived and
are included in this book.
