Description:

In 'South African Eden: From Sabi Game Reserve to Kruger National Park' I have endeavoured to set forth the story of the Kruger National Park or, as it was known for more than twenty-five years, the Sabi Game Reserve, from the date I was placed in charge of it on 1 July 1902, until my retirement on 30 April 1946. It must therefore be understood that what I have written refers only to persons, events, and system of administration, embraced within that period. Of subsequent history I know little, and that at second hand: consequently I do not touch upon it. My desire is merely to record how the great wildlife sanctuary, as the public know it today, came into being; how it for long struggled for existence against heavy odds, and how at last it came successfully to maturity.
