The author, a participant in the events, offers a vivid and personal account of the journey from Bechuanaland to the heart of Mashonaland.

Readers encounter the resolute Chief Khama, the intrepid Sisters who dedicate themselves to providing care in the face of hardship, and the diverse cast of characters who form the British Pioneer Corps.
