He was honored in the friendship of Lord Roberts, Theodore Roosevelt, Cecil Rhodes, and Dr. Jameson and received the highest honors of the British Empire. In this book he tells in full detail the fascinating story of his thrilling and varied career."In real life he is more interesting than any of my heroes of romance"—SIR RIDER HAGGARD"I have seldom been as much taken with a narrative"—REAR ADMIRAL WM. S. SIMS, U.S.N."I have read it all with enthralled interest"—THEODORE ROOSEVELT"England was never made by her statesmen; England was made by her adventurers."—GENERAL GORDON.
