Wilfred Harvey Schoff, The Periplus of Hanno — The "Burning Country" of §§ 14-16 (1913)
“ Whenever the grass is sufficiently dry, the Negroes set it on fire; but in Ludamar and other Moorish countries this practice is not allowed, for it is on the withered stubble that the Moors feed their cattle until the return of the rains. The burning of the grass in Manding exhibits a scene of terrific grandeur. ”
