Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Lieutenant Colonel Hardin Burnley-Campbell (1843-1920) was a soldier, hunter and adventurer of a restless (and vain) disposition. He valiantly fought in the Afghan wars, marching from Cabool to Kandahar and the Boer Wars. After his retirement, he incessantly hunted and travelled the world. In 1907 he became a real-life Phileas Fogg circumnavigating the globe in 40 days, 19 hours and 30 minutes. In the newspapers of his day, he was hailed for his record-breaking travel. Had I succeeded he writes in catching the St Petersburg express, I should have reduced the time by several hours." He sailed from Liverpool to Quebec, travelled with the transcontinental mail train to Vancouver, hopped on the Empress of China, and arrived in Yokohama. Enamoured with the land of the Chrysanthemums, he permitted himself one day in Japan, got stuck when the steamer to Vladivostok was grounded during a fog, took the trans-Siberian railway, travelled like Michel Strogoff to Irkutsk, crossed the Volga in an armoured train and then reached Moscow. Allowing himself no wait, he rushed through Poland, nearly missing the train in Berlin. During all that time, he never forgot to be a gentleman, managed to shave every day, and while being a Scott, he did it for 150 pounds. Burney Campbell replied with indignation when accused that a postcard travelled at a faster speed. I am not a postcard, Sir, and don t want to be a postcard. It s not playing the game fairly.
