A Few Months in New Guinea

By Octavius C Stone

Book Overview

""A Few Months in New Guinea"" is a travelogue written by Octavius C. Stone in 1880. The book details Stone's experiences during his journey to New Guinea, which was then a largely unexplored territory. The author describes the landscape, people, and culture of the region, as well as his encounters with various animals and insects. Stone also provides insights into the colonial administration of the area by the British and Dutch, and the impact of European influence on the indigenous population. The book is a fascinating account of a time when much of the world was still unknown and uncharted, and provides a glimpse into the life of a traveler in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
