Description
Having studied forestry in his native Argyll, Donald MacIntosh set off on what was to be a 30 year journey as a tree prospector and surveyor in the rainforests of West Africa. In Travels In The White Man's Grave he recounts his often hilarious encounters with the peoples and wildlife of this still largely misunderstood part of the world.
In what he calls "fun and adventure all the way" we meet some of the eccentric characters he befriended - some with equally eccentric names like Famous Sixpence and Magic T Sperm! And permeating the whole collection of anecdotes and tales is MacIntosh's affection for his beloved Africa.
