Have You Read Any Good Books Lately?

"Sun, Sand, and Somals"
It's by a British officer who served as a District Commissioner after WW I.
Pacifying Slave Traders was part of his job.
Forgot his name, Google it on Amazon, it's either very cheap or free.

That's it.
Good story.
Another good one is "Scouting on Two Continents" by Fredrick Russel Burnham.
He's the reason Boy Scouts wear "campaign" hats.
There is another version of the book. by Steve Kemper.
It goes into detail on some of the things, like the Pleasant Valley War, that Burnham glossed over.
He is a liberal revisionist asshole, but the added detail makes it worth skipping his ignorantly  judgmental BS.

Any one read the couple of books based off of his journals?

I have been looking for them at the local library ( you know the place that use to have books in it)  but no luck.
