  • Apart from the great supplies of obsolete fire-arms suddenly thrown on the market by the rearming of Europe, the increase in the numbers of fire-arms in the late I88o's in East Africa was also due to a shift northwards of a trade that had been carried on for a decade or more in South Africa

    Hi Kecia. Good work - but you need to post the actual article to Diigo (the PDF) and not just a link to the webpage where the article is available. When I click on your bookmark, I need to be able to read the PDF. You will need to access JSTOR via the university library database access page. But good work.
