Description
1903 Mungo Park Travels in AFRICA Mandingo Slaves Cannibalism Voyages



Mungo Park was an 18th-century Scottish explorer who was well-known for his voyages in West Africa and the Niger River Basin. The reports and accounts of this voyage are still quite popular today amongst game hunters and navigation enthusiasts. The origin of this voyage came when Park sought to discover the source of the Niger River, a goal that Daniel Houghton had originally set out to find.



On his journey, Park encountered a group of Mandinka slaves – an encounter that inspired the work Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa. These slaves assumed Park and his men were cannibals and, like slave traders before them, were there to enslave, sell, and consume them. This book set the standard for future travels writers to follow and was important for providing Western Europeans with a view of life in Central Africa. This impressive work features full page engravings throughout.



This 1903 A. and C. Black edition contains numerous full-page color engravings! A highly desirable edition.
