Synopsis
Explore life on the Gold Coast through the eyes of a traveling mining professional, from jungle crossing to frontier concessions and ancient ruins.
The book follows a 1901 onward journey into West Africa, where the author navigates malaria, hard work, and the realities of colonial enterprise. It blends field reporting with practical advice on health, diet, and living in a tropical climate, all while detailing how concessions are won, boundaries cut, and beacons set in challenging terrain.
Readers are invited to step into a series of vivid scenes: from exploring forgotten cities buried in jungle growth to tense encounters with local chiefs and officials, and from riverine treks to inland expeditions in the Ivory Coast. The narratives mix travel detail with reflections on culture, trade, and the complexities of colonial work along the Gold Coast.
- Field experiences: how concessions are located, measured, and marked in dense terrain.
- Survival notes: health, diet, and practical tips for enduring the jungle and long trips.
- Historical curiosities: descriptions of ruins, legends, and encounters with local traditions.
- Vivid travelogue: scenes of ships, rivers, forts, and market towns along the coast.
Ideal for readers of adventure, travel memoirs, and early 20th‑century colonial history.
