King Solomon’s Mines by S. E. Paces
Book Summary:
“King Solomon’s Mines” is the exciting story of the amazing adventures of three white men on their way through the heart of Africa in the 1880s. They were seeking the lost brother of one of them. At the same time, they were hoping to find the diamond mines from which mighty King Solomon had obtained his riches thousands of years ago. They eventually found them although their only guide was a map drawn some three centuries before by a dying Portuguese trader. You will find further sensational adventures of the three men in the book “Allan Quater-main”.
