With 415 illustrations
KORTE INHOUD
In an age when we look to the heavens for new frontiers, it is easy to forget the outspots on earth where a fast-disappearing breed of man is still at one with the land off which he lives. The primitive people reside there, much as their ancestors did thousand of years ago.
