CHAPTER XXIX RHODESIA TO-DAY The Transformation of a Wilderness--Sickness, Pestilence, and Massacre, Factors in the Settlement of a New Country --The Advent of Women and Children--Pastimes Dear to the British Heart--Political Agitation and Mr. Rhodes's Visit--Government of Rhodesia--Central Position--GoldProducing Capabilities--Agricultural Resources and the Land Question--Coal and Iron, one Measure of the Wealth of a State--Rhodesia an Attractive Field for Commercial Enterprise--England as a Colonizing Power--The Dark Continent the Future Scene of a Prominent Part of the World's Drama. That a wilderness in the heart of Africa should in less than one decade be supplanted by all the conveniences of civilization, is one of the marvels of our progressive age. In the year 1890 the British South Africa Company Pioneers journeyed by ox-wagon nearly one thousand miles beyond the frontier settlements of the Cape Colony, to a land possessed solely by wild beasts and menacing savages. To-day we find the sturdy Anglo-Saxon, with his language, laws, customs, and " modern improvements," firmly established in that region. In substantial towns, which form the centres of large agricultural and mining districts, we find churches, schools, libraries, clubs, the Salvation Army, daily and weekly newspapers, courts of justice, jails--in short, all the components of modern civilization. The telegraph-wire has long since placed the inhabitants of that country in quick communication with every part of the civilized world, while railways have supplanted ox-teams and native porters as a means of transportation to the Atlantic and Indian oceans. The present state of progress has not been attained without the sufferings and hardships in the way of sickness, ...

If from this recital, embracing, as it does, the vari ous epochs of the country's development from its founding to the present day, Englishmen are able to learn anything which may accrue to a better under standing of the needs and possibilities of Rhodesia, which next to the land of my nativity is dearer to me than all other parts of the earth, I shall feel doubly compensated for my efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the reciprocal relationship between Africa and North America from the seventeenth-century slave trade onwards, two leading authorities in the field provide a major revision to traditional colonial African history as well as to US history. Departing from prior accounts that tended to emphasise only the role of the colonial metropoles in developing Africa, the authors show how American pioneers - missionaries, traders, prospectors, miners, engineers, scientists, and others - have helped to shape Africa. They also point to the equally important impact made by Africa on the United States through trade and immigration, and through the influence of Africans on the arts and agriculture, among other facets of American life. In a study of exceptionally broad scope, the authors devote particular attention to the development of United States policy regarding Africa, the impact of private enterprise, the operation of governmental lobbies, the administration of foreign aid, and the involvement of Africa in the Cold War.
