Summary: "Camp Fire Yarns of the Lost Legion" by Colonel G. Hamilton-Browne is a collection of personal narratives and historical accounts written in the late 19th century. The stories reflect on the author's experiences during his military service with the Lost Legion, particularly focusing on his encounters with the Maori people in New Zealand and the tumultuous conflicts of that era. The book aims to capture the essence of camaraderie, culture, and the hardships faced by soldiers and their indigenous counterparts during this significant period.
