1908 Winston Churchill 1st ed Big Game Hunting My African Journey Illustrated "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." ― Winston S. Churchill Acknowledging all Churchill's other accolades, we tend to overlook his claims as a writer of travel. A fine example is at hand in 'My African Journey', the story of his 1908 excursion in Kenya and Uganda. 'My African Journey' is notable for being the only book of his to have photographs possibly taken by the author. Churchill profited from his trip by serializing articles in The Strand Magazine and publishing a book. Hodder and Stoughton published 'My African Journey' in 1908, which added significantly more content than was in the serialized articles. Item number: #25611 Price: $1095 CHURCHILL, Winston S.
