About this ebook
Donald MacIntosh had never left his native Scotland until, at the age of 23, he embarked on a career as a tree surveyor and forest botanist which took him to some of the most remote parts of the rainforests of West Central Africa. From Nigeria and Liberia to Cameroon and Gabon he worked, from Newfoundland to the Hebrides.
A self-effacing observer, Donald revelled in his odyssey in which he encountered witch doctors, hunters, gypsies, dictators, rogues and heroines. Sheltering under mahogany trees, sitting by a camp fire or sleeping in a mud hut, Donald heard tales of love, of ghosts and wild beasts, of humour and of passion.
His sense of the beauty and mystery of the human soul shines through each skillfully-crafted tale of his encounters.
Donald MacIntosh
Donald MacIntosh was the eldest son of a Perthshire woodcutter and a mother from the Isle of Mull. After studying forestry in Argyll, he spent 30 years as a tree prospector/surveyor in West Africa, spending months at a time going 'native' deep into the equatorial rainforests. He wrote for several publications before his death in 2014 and he was the author of six books.
