Twenty Years In Khama�������s Country: And Pioneering Among The Batauana Of Lake Ngami (1896) is a memoir written by James Davidson Hepburn, detailing his experiences as a missionary and explorer in southern Africa. The book covers a period of twenty years, during which Hepburn lived among the Batauana people near Lake Ngami, in what is now Botswana. Hepburn's narrative describes his travels through the region, his interactions with local tribes, and his efforts to establish a mission and school. The book also provides insights into the political and social landscape of the region at the time, including the role of British colonialism and the impact of the slave trade. Throughout the book, Hepburn emphasizes the importance of education and Christian values, and describes his efforts to promote these ideals among the Batauana people. He also provides vivid descriptions of the local flora and fauna, including elephants, lions, and crocodiles. Overall, Twenty Years In Khama�������s Country is a fascinating account of one man's experiences living and working in a remote and challenging part of the world, and provides valuable insights into the history and culture of southern Africa in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
