A Springfield Republican reader describes Rhodesia’s wooded regions and tall grasses. The grass often reaches twelve feet in valleys along the Sabt and Zamberst rivers, making navigation easy to lose. Annual fires burn the dry grass in August to October, creating dramatic night scenes as hills glow with flames.
