Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 217 Pages Indexed. Three inked-lines of inscription by the author. Bright tight book with no defects noted. Interior text pages are flawless. In 1932 Donald and Lelia Baker arrive at Mondombe, a mission station far up a tributary of the Congo River, to heal and educate the Af…ricans. Dr. Baker is the only doctor for an area the size of Indiana. A year later their daughter Margaret is born. In this book Margaret Baker Wente describes the unusual story of her family's life in the Belgian Congo, now the Democratic Republic of Congo, catching marauding leopards, surviving serious malarial attacks and helping a hunting and fishing people gain the knowledge to join the modern world. Living in the jungle without electricity or neighborhood grocery stores demands pioneer ingenuity. Messages come by drum beat; canoes and bicycles provide the usual transportation; mail from the States takes three months to arrive. The mission steamboat Oregon spreads the gospel and provides transportation up and down the river for the mission. Gradually educated Congolese assume positions of responsibility. With independence in 1960, the new Congolese government proves unable to control its rampaging army. The Bakers must be evacuated by the United States Air Force after serving twenty-eight years.

Part of her dress remained in his hand. She was frightened of him. The whip had caught her across the croup - a hard, stinging blow. There was no… expression, even of lust, inhis eyes. He did not look like a man who would take a woman: he looked like a man who would kill one. The eyes of a madman. He raised his whip an dbrought it down on the sofa. The rawhide cut through the material." Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. PHOTO Cover! (illustrator). Book.

Paperback. Condition: NEW condition. Unknown ed [still in original plastic]. Reno: University of Nevada Press, 1998. Still sealed in the publisher's clear plastic shrink wrap -- almost certainly the 1998 First Edition. New and unread in PERFECT condition. Flat, uncreased spine. Square and tight. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or… bookplate. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked - obviously never read. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Bound in the original tan pictorial wraps. From the publisher: "When World War II began, Nevada writer Robert Laxalt was an undergraduate in college. Laxalt was eager to serve his country but was disqualified from military service because of a childhood illness that left him with a heart murmur. Frustrated in his attempts to enlist and shunned by his Nevada neighbors as a draft dodger, Laxalt used his family's political connections to get appointed as a code officer at the U.S. legation in the Belgian Congo. This vivid memoir recalls Laxalt's service in a remote jungle outpost where a secret war was being fought for control of the world's future. Deep in the Congo lay a mine that produced a little known substance called uranium, and for reasons that no one then understood, the Allies and the Germans were struggling ferociously to control the mine and its ore. But Laxalt's war was an inward one as well. Embittered by his country's rejection of his wish to serve it, Laxalt left the U.S. hoping never to see it again, but his tenure in the tropics helped him realize what his country meant to him.". Unknown ed [still in original plastic]. Softcover. NEW condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. Unknown page count (still in shrinkwrap). Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. NOT a library discard (illustrator).
