description: Here is the stuff of legends — the true story of the life of Trader Horn, a tale of thrills and danger, wild beasts and savages. Down on his luck in old age, Trader Horn recounts his wild youth as an ivory trader in Central Africa: journeying into jungles teaming with elephants, gorillas, and man-eating leopards; liberating an Isorga princess from captivity; freeing slaves; and meeting Cecil Rhodes, founder of Rhodesia. As John Galsworthy writes in his Foreword, here's a story "that will tickle the appetice of the most jaded". An unforgettable and vivid portrait of a vanished late 19th century Africa.
