I read King Solomon's Mines (Haggard's first novel and the first Allan Quatermain novel) and don't remember it that way.

Of course, the colonization of Africa and the whole 'great white hunter' stereotype is pretty gross now. But I remember being far less troubled by Haddard's attitudes than Lovecraft's.
