Richard Lander (1804-1834) accompanied Clapperton on an expedition to Western Africa in 1825. Clapperton died in 1827 in present-day Nigeria, leaving Lander as the only surviving European member of the expedition. He proceeded southeast and then returned to Britain in 1828. Lander set out on another expedition to West Africa in 1830, accompanied by his brother John. After exploring the River Niger, they explored the River Benue and the Niger Delta. In 1832, Lander returned to Africa as leader of an expedition to found a trading settlement at the junction of the Niger and Benue rivers. Many died from fever and Lander was fatally wounded by a musket ball in his thigh. The Lander brothers were hailed by contemporaries for discovering that the Niger flowed into the Atlantic, "since it opened up the whole of central Africa to commerce and ultimately settlement." (ODNB).
