Project Gutenberg 1998-07-01 Public domain in the USA. 305 White, Stewart Edward 1873 1946 The Land of Footprints Produced by Aaron Cannon, and David Widger "The Land of Footprints" by Stewart Edward White is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences and observations during his expeditions into East Equatorial Africa, capturing the essence of the wilderness and the people he encounters. The narrative is grounded in the author's aim to present a genuine depiction of the region, contrasting the romanticized and often exaggerated accounts of previous travel literature. The opening of the memoir establishes a critical viewpoint on adventure writing. White distinguishes between two types of travel writers: the sensationalist who embellishes their tales for dramatic effect, and the modest observer who downplays their experiences. He emphasizes a yearning for truth, urging a storytelling approach that conveys the reality of emotions and experiences in the African landscape. The initial chapters set the scene in a rugged, exotic environment, blending lush descriptions of the wildlife and geography with reflections on human emotions and societal observations. Characters include experienced local guides and fellow travelers, such as Memba Sasa, who will later play a vital role in the narrative, highlighting the rapport between the author and his companions amid thrilling adventures in the African wilderness.
