James Negley Farson (1890-1960), was an American author and adventurer. A renowned fisherman, Farson wrote one of the classics of fishing literature' Going Fishing'. He was educated at Andover and read civil engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. He was expelled from this institution and emigrated to England. He went into journalism and travelled to Russia, being present in Petrograd the day the Bolshevik Revolution broke out. Farson went on to become one of the most renowned foreign correspondents of his day, interviewing Gandhi in India, witnessing Gandhi's arrest in Poona, witnessing bank robber John Dillinger's naked body in the morgue just after he had been shot down by Hoover's men, and meeting Hitler, who described Farson's blond son Daniel, as a 'good Aryan boy'. This is the story of his adventures in Africa.
