ADD TO WISHLIST >

A Matomaton military history reference book.

A compilation of WHG Kingston's writings on British actions in Africa during the reign of Queen Victoria.

This PDF gathers together Kingston's articles written for two volumes that charted the wars and campaigns fought by Great Britain in various parts of the world.

Details

The PDF contains:

-- Five pages for the cover and legalese, a short biography of WHG Kingston and the table of contents (with active links to each section of the text).

-- Fifteen articles describing and discussing particular actions, campaigns and wars fought by the British Army and Navy in Abyssinia, Ashanti and South Africa up to the First Boer War.

-- Each of the eleven major sections is preceded by a title page illustrated with an image or map appropriate to the subject.

Also Available (or Coming Soon)

This series includes PDFs covering wars and campaigns fought in Afghanistan, Africa, China, the Crimea, Egypt and the Indian subcontinent, as well as British exploration of the Arctic.

There are also accompanying maps and image collections covering the key battles and campaigns described in this series as well as three more books specific to the Second Boer War.

Please Note

Please be aware that the text of this PDF was written in an age when sensibilities were somewhat less delicate and attitudes to peoples not of the British Isles were considerably less enlightened.

About WHG Kingston

Though most famous as a writer of adventure stories and historical fiction, William Henry Giles Kingston also wrote a number of factual accounts of travel, discovery and military exploits. His lifelong love of the sea was the source of much of his work and began when he travelled to and from Portugal as a child. He would later receive a Portuguese knighthood, his earlier writings having proven influential in the Anglo-Portuguese treaty of 1842.

About Matomaton

I've long been fascinated by military history and over the years have gathered a collection of reference books and images like those included in this PDF. This series of books covers a period of British history that I find particularly interesting and will be returning to in future texts.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
