Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an expeditionary account of the Niger River, mapping its course and ultimately defining its terminus. By tracing the river from its source to its end, the author's observations on the people and topography of West Africa provide a valuable historical document of the region. The text explores the region's complex political and cultural dynamics, detailing military power, religious practice, and daily life in the various African communities visited. Through the author's lens, the reader observes first-hand accounts of traditional African ceremonies, such as a sacrifice to the river god. Also described are the risks and challenges the author faced, suffering through difficult terrain and encountering dangerous wildlife like hippos and crocodiles. The author also provides historical context, drawing comparisons between different African societies and sharing his knowledge of the impact and influence of European trade and colonialism. Through its detailed examination of the Niger River, this book sheds light on a pivotal region of Africa, capturing a moment in time that would soon be swept away by encroaching colonial powers.
