Presenting a meticulously researched biography of Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell. This work celebrates the achievements of the strong and influential British Army officer, writer, founder, and first Chief Scout of the global Scout Movement. Baden-Powell operated in the British Army from 1876 till 1910 in India and Africa. During the Second Boer War, 1899, in South Africa, Baden-Powell successfully defended the town in the Siege of Mafeking. Since the life and legacy of Baden-Powell cannot be separated from the turbulent period in which he lived, this work represents the history of Great Britain. The author interests the readers with several unknown facts about the brave officer and his role in the Second Boer War when guarding Mafeking seemed impossible. Content includes: Introduction To The Man In The Street Baden-Powell—the Manner Of Man He Is An Expedition And A Campaign The Story Of The Siege Of Mafeking, 1899-1900

Baron Baden-Powell is nowadays remembered best for his work as the founder of the Scouting Movement which has gone on to become a world-wide success; however his initial reputation rested on his military career centred on the Boer War. Colonel Baden-Powell, as he then was, commanded at Mafeking and was charged with its defence no matter the odds. At his command he had few resources, even fewer men and slim prospects of holding out against overwhelming odds. What this book tells, with great gusto, is the miracle that Baden-Powell contrived to bring about by successfully defending Mafeking for seven months. His tactics were often unconventional but very effective in keeping up both the spirits of the townspeople and the Boers at bay. He set an example of sang-froid that was instrumental in ensuring the troops under his command did not give in to the fears of the odds facing them. The following anecdote is characteristic of him: “Soon after the redoubtable Cronje [The Boer General] took command of the Boer forces, he forwarded a demand for surrender, to avoid further bloodshed, to which the reply [Baden-Powell’s] was, "When will the bloodshed begin?"” Highly recommended. Author — W. Francis Aitken Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in 1900, London, by S W Partridge & Co. Original Page Count – 175 pages. Illustrations — 1 Portrait.

Excerpt from Baden-Powell: The Hero of Mafeking It was said of him in his school days that He was always preparing. It may now be said that he was always preparing for Mafeking. How he tried to prepare the nation for the trial Will be appreciated by even the most cursory student of his remarkable career. In India, South Africa, Ashanti be rendered splendid service to the Empire before the present campaign was started. And there is evidence that not only in the countries named, but also on the continent he had done good work the proofs of which are now pigeon-holed in the gloomy building known as the War Office. Such men as baden-powell, though they may not commend themselves to the staunch upholders of what is known as the kid glove and eye-glass letter-of-the-regulations branch of officialdom, and may not win admission to the ranks of the decorated, do incalculable service in knitting together the bonds of Empire.
