So real that I have thought it necessary to alter names herein there, including his own surname. The Christian names I have capped, being loth to part with them: the first so redolent of the read Norman days from which his spirit seems not yet to have emerge, and the second mounting guard, so to speak, over old half buried instincts of the catholic, and ready to see him safely through the door of heaven… Alfred Aloysius "Trader" Horn (born Alfred Aloysius Smith; 1861–1931) was an ivory trader in central Africa. He wrote a book, Trader Horn, detailing his journeys into jungles teeming with buffalo, gorillas, man-eating leopards, serpents and "savages". The book also documents his efforts to free slaves, meet the founder of Rhodesia, Cecil Rhodes, and liberate a princess from captivity.
