DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The remarkable true adventures of John Boyes, trader and soldier of fortune, who became king of the savage WA-KIKUYU.Back in 1911, The adventures John Boyes underwent were something quite out of the ordinary. Today, the opportunities of such adventure get more and more remote, and as the uttermost parts of the earth is under the influence of civilization will be ever more impossible. For this reason alone an incredible story such as told here seems to be worth recording.The reader will judge for himself as to the interest of the raw, two-fisted tales here related. Anyone will admit that no ordinary force of character was necessary to carry them through to a successful issue. The whole life of the author during the time he was a wanderer in the Kikuyu country, and later while he was practically supreme ruler of the tribe-a tribe numbering half a million of people-was one of imminent daily risk, courage, nerve, and resource.
