The Brotherhood of the Trees

On the founding of a native society to protect the Central African forests Tribes which by the destruction of the trees had laid waste vast stretches of equatoreal Africa were turned into protectors and planters by means of a now ceremonial dance. The movement spread like fire across the land and to-day a member of The Men of the Trees is an honoured man amongst the boldest of the local folk. The tale is astonishing. Legend, buffalo hunts and naive forest scenes reveal the likeable charackter of the trusting Africans who so quickly react to sincerity.
