European Settlements on the West Coast of Africa (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book is an 1862 travelogue by an anonymous British author who embarked on a year-long journey to the west coast of Africa, a region which, at the time, was feared and misunderstood as the "White Man's Grave." From the decks of the steamer Forerunner, the author observes the coast of northwest Africa as his ship makes port in Sierra Leone and other nations. The author shares his travel experiences and observations of the region's European and African societies. The acute social commentary and the author's vivid prose bring to life these diverse coastal towns and their inhabitants. The book offers fascinating and insightful views into the intricate political, social, and economic landscape of mid-19th century West Africa. Anyone curious about the challenges and adventures of early travel in Africa will find this book an engaging read.
