Another Kindle

This was a freeby from Kindle and was quite enjoyable. "The People of the Mist" by Sir Henry Rider Haggard gives us Leonard Outram who's father has lost their wealth and their good name in England causing Leonard to leave for Africa to find wealth to someday repurchase his family estate. Seven years and just a small amount of gold to show for it; his brother dies and he's left alone. He finds himself in a search of a woman who's been kidnapped along with many natives by a slave trader and the promise of wealth if he is successful. He is and the search for the wealth is an even more dangerous adventure than fighting slave traders. He has a sidekick that is unforgetable. Set in the late 1800's. Hopefully there are more of this author's books available.
