In the Niger Country (Classic Reprint) by Harold Bindloss Pdf

Excerpt from In the Niger Country Between two lines drawn roughly north and south from Sierra Leone to Bojador, and the Bight of Biafra to Fezzan, there lies a vast quadrangular tract of northern Africa, through the heart of which the Niger flows. The story of this region is more or less bound up with that of the great river, for throughout the greater portion of a thousand years rumours of the fertility and wealth of the Niger basin led adventurous explorers, first from the ancient East and then from the young West, onwards into the wilds of the Sudan. Many races, differing widely in origin, character, and mode of life, dwell there, and for the clearer understand ing of its aspect and history it may be divided into three zones.

The Niger and the Benueh by Adolphe Burdo Pdf

Excerpt from The Niger and the Benueh: Travels in Central Africa On Sunday, April 7, we cast anchor at Corunna, in a bay surrounded with picturesque mountains. We stayed there a few hours, and by the evening of the next day we sighted Lisbon. But the sea was rough, and the entrance of the Tagus is dan gerons at night, so we had to tack until daylight.

With the Nigerians in German East Africa (Classic Reprint) by Walter Douglas Downes Pdf

Excerpt from With the Nigerians in German East Africa It is my hope that, when the reader has finished this book, he will be as convinced as the writer that these soldiers from the borders of the sun-scorched Sahara, from the banks of the Niger and the Benue, from Yoruba land and Calabar, are second to none among the dark skinned sons of the Empire as fighting men. It will probably interest my readers if I set down for their information a short sketch of the history and doings of this gallant regiment, dating back as it does to the early days of the British Overseas Empire.

Campaigning on the Upper Nile and Niger (Classic Reprint) by Seymour Vandeleur Pdf

Excerpt from Campaigning on the Upper Nile and Niger I must plead as an excuse for writing this book the interest now being taken in the countries about the source of the Nile, to which a railway is hastening from the East Coast, and in the valuable Niger terri tories which recent events have brought so prominently before the public. My grateful thanks are due to Sir George Goldie for having honoured me by writing an Introduction. I am much indebted to Lieutenant A. H. Festing for allowing me to make use of his drawings for the Graphic during the Niger Sudan Campaign, which, by the courtesy of the Editor, I have been able to te produce. I have also to thank the Manager of the T imes for kind permission to make use of letters which I wrote for the Times on the Niger, and Major Pulteney, Mr. Edward Heawood, m.a., and Dr. Scott Keltie, for their kind assistance in looking over the proofs. I have done my best to eliminate the dull record of latitudes and longitudes, and of the geographical work, which is embodied in the maps at the end of the book.

The Story of the Niger by Robert Richardson Pdf

Excerpt from The Story of the Niger: A Record of Travel and Adventure From the Days of Mungo Park to the Present Time This Story of the Niger is a rapid summary of facts. The material upon which the narrative is based is found scattered over many bulky volumes, such as few readers would have either the leisure or the inclination to attack. But it has been thought that, from the intrinsic interest of the story, a brief continuous narrative might prove acceptable to all who love a tale of travel and adventure. The story in these pages is essentially that told by the actors in the drama themselves, and is such as demanded no decoration at second hand. What has been aimed at was simply to collect all that was most striking and interesting, most pathetic or most humorous, and to weld the whole together in a consecutive and trust worthy narrative.

Up the Niger by Augustus Ferryman Mockler-Ferryman Pdf

Excerpt from Up the Niger: Narrative of Major Claude Macdonald's Mission to the Niger and Benue Rivers, West Africa The greater part of our time was naturally devoted to the most important object of the mission, viz., the inquiry into the working of the Royal Niger Company and as we were continually on the move, inspecting stations and inter viewing chiefs, there was little leisure for sport of any kind. The origin and growth of the first British chartered company in Africa is somewhat remarkable; and in these days, when British companies, with and without charters, are breaking fresh ground all over the Dark Continent, a summary of events which have resulted in the trade of one of the largest rivers of Africa falling into the hands of British merchants may be worthy of record.

A Charge Delivered on the Banks of the River Niger in West Africa (Classic Reprint) by Samuel Adjai Crowther Pdf

Excerpt from A Charge Delivered on the Banks of the River Niger in West Africa This abandonment of the Expedition was a heavy blow to the country. It appeared as if the Niger was doomed to remain in perpetual seclusion, and its mighty waters destined to float down only human cargoes, aggravating the miseries of the country and her people; - as if, instead of becoming a highway through which to convey light, life, and liberty into the heart of the country, it should present as it were an impassable barrier to their introduction, and thus keep the people and country still in the darkness of superstition, ignorance, and vice, in a most servile and abject degradation and slavery, and in a state of spiritual death, in trespasses and sins.

Pioneers in West Africa (Classic Reprint) by Harry Johnston Pdf

Excerpt from Pioneers in West Africa I have tried, in describing these adventures, to give my readers some idea of the scenery, animals, and vegetation of the new lands through which these pioneers passed on their great and small purposes; as well as of the people, native to the soil, with whom they came in contact. And in treating of these subjects I have thought it best to give the scientific names of the plant or animal which was of importance in my story, so that any of my readers who were really interested in natural history could at once ascertain for themselves the exact type alluded to, and, if they wished, look it up in a museum, a garden, or a natural history book.
