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.

Excerpt from Baden-Powell of Mafeking Of boundless love and reverence and regret To those great men who fought and kept it ours. We have a voice -yes, and is it not well that at this juncture it should be raised in honour of the men who have mounted guard for us at the gates of Empire? It is well, too, that our ears Should listen to stories of them - surely there is no taint of unpardonable curiosity in that, but rather an inquisitiveness which is worthy of praise. No man can hear of great men, not think of brave deeds, without finding himself made better and richer. It is in the contemplation of greatness that even the most poorly-equipped amongst us may find a step to a higher place of thought.

Excerpt from Sir Robert Baden-Powell It is this capacity for tireless patience, and for watchful coolness, combined with the natural buoyant gaiety for which baden-powell has always been known, that gives the key to the whole character of the individual. Baden-powell must not be estimated by the general conception the public appear to have formed of him as the genial humorist, for such an estimate obscures a just notion of him. The public, quick to generalise from particular cases, notably the 'one dog killed' incident of the Mafeking report, are apt to see only a personality which is bubbling over with high spirits, and to lose the idea of the tireless, wary, responsible officer in the process. This is not to minimise the value of humour and exuberant Spirits in the handling of bodies of men who may be labouring under the stress of abnormal tension.

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.

"A scout must always be prepared at any moment to do his duty, and to face danger in order to help his fellow-men." A startling amalgam of Zulu war-cry and imperial and urban myth, of borrowed tips on health and hygiene, and object lessons in woodcraft, Robert Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys (1908) is the original blueprint and 'self-instructor' of the Boy Scout Movement. One of the all-time bestsellers in the English-speaking world, this primer of 'yarns and pictures' constitutes probably the most influential manual for youth ever published. Yet the book is at the same time a roughly composed hodge-podge of jingoist lore and tracker legend, padded with lengthy quotations from adventure fiction and Baden-Powell's own autobiography, and seamed through with the multiple anxieties of its time: fears of degeneration, concerns about masculinity and self-restraint, and invasion paranoia. Elleke Boehmer's edition of Scouting for Boys reprints the original text and illustrations, and her fine introduction investigates a book that has been cited as an authority by militarists and pacifists, capitalists and environmentalists alike.
