'During the last three years of Baldwin's wanderings, he joureyed over from 12,000 to 15,000 miles of country, and becoming at last somewhat weary of his vagrant life, he made up his mind that it was "nearly time to call a halt.' Mr Baldwin's experiences are written in a simple and un-ostentatious manner, but he went through more adventures than almost any other of the great South African travellers and hunters.
