J. R. Euen - in J. R. Euen's account of life in 1960s upcountry Tanzania, the readers find themselves in a world that no longer exists. East African Railways and Harbours had a network of rails and ferries covering the three East African territories, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The three territories are evolving on independence from Great Britain, but it is a transitional period, and a way of life which will be changed for ever was coming to an end. Rory MacTavish and his family are stationed in Kigoma, Tanzania, on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, where East African Railways and Harbours operate a steamship service between the lake port of Kigoma in Tanzania, and Mpulungu, in Northern Rhodesia.
