Stories of the Gorilla Country I had passed several years on the African Coast before I began the explorations recorded in my first book. In those years I hunted, traded with the natives, and made collections in natural history. In such a wild country as Africa one does not go far without adventures. The traveller necessarily sees what is strange and wonderful, for everything is strange. In this book I have attempted to relate some of the incidents of life in Africa for the reading of young folks. In doing this I have kept no chronological order, but have selected incidents and adventures here and there as they seem to be fitted for my purpose. I have noticed that most intelligent boys like to read about the habits of wild animals, and the manners and way of life of savage men; and of such matters this book is composed. In it I have entered into more minute details concerning the life of the native inhabitants than I could in my other books, and have shown how the people build their houses, what are their amusements, how they hunt, fish, eat, travel, and live. Whenever I am at a friend's house the children ask me to tell them something about Africa. I like children, and in this book have written especially for them. I hope to interest many who are yet too young to read my larger works.

Excerpt from Stories of the Gorilla Country: Narrated for Young People My dear young folks, - My publishers, thinking that you would like to hear of Friend Paul, have just published specially for you this new edition of his travels in Africa in five little volumes - Stories of the Gorilla Country, Wild Life Under the Equator, Lost in the Jungle, My Apingi Kingdom (for the Apingi people made Friend Paul their king), and The Country of the Dwarfs. When Friend Paul returned to New York he found the young folks his devoted friends; they believed in him and his books. They believed in the great forest and jungle where he spent five years. They believed in the horrid gorilla, and in the encounters he had with that huge monster; they believed, too, in the other apes that he had discovered, the Nshiego Mbouve, the Kooloo-kamba, and Nshiego Nkengo. Some of them saw the great gorillas and the other apes at the famous publishing house in Franklin Square. They believed in dear little Tommy, and Fighting Joe; also in the wonderful animals, insects, and snakes Friend Paul described. They believed in all the tribes of wild men with whom he had lived, and who were friends of his; in the cannibals; and in the dwarfs. With him they loved King Ranpano, Quengueza, and Obindji, and also his hunters, Igala, Fasiko, Niamkala, Malaouen, Kerlaouen, and others.

"The adventures of Du Chaillu were vastly more hazardous and interesting than those of either Livingstone or Stanley." - The Illustrated American A hugely popular novel based on Du Chaillu's true stories of African exploration was published in 1921 under the title "Tarzan of the Apes." When only a boy of eighteen Du Chaillu sailed from New York to West Africa, whence he made his way into the interior unattended by any such army and retinue of soldiers as assisted Stanley in his exploits. After years in the heart of Africa Du Chaillu returned to this country with unheard of stories of adventures among exotic wild beasts and tribes. Paul Belloni Du Chaillu ( 1831 - 1903) was an American traveler, zoologist, and anthropologist. He became famous in the 1860s as the first modern European outsider to confirm the existence of gorillas, and later the Pygmy people of central Africa. He was sent in 1855 by the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia on an African expedition. Until 1859, he explored the regions of West Africa in the neighborhood of the equator, gaining considerable knowledge of the delta of the Ogooué River and the estuary of the Gabon. During his travels from 1856 to 1859, he observed numerous gorillas, known to non-locals in prior centuries only from an unreliable and ambiguous report credited to Hanno the Navigator of Carthage in the 5th century BC and known to scientists in the preceding years only by a few skeletons. He brought back dead specimens and presented himself as the first white European person to have seen them. Du Chaillu wrote about his African adventures in his 1871 book "Stories of the Gorilla Country." In writing about a new species of hominid Du Chaillu states: " I happened to look up at a high tree which we were passing, and saw a most singular shelter or home built in its branches. I immediately stopped and asked Okabi why the hunters slept in that way in the woods. Okabi laughed, after looking at me quizzically, and then he told me that no man had ever built that shelter. He said that it was made by a kind of man of the woods, called nshiego mbouve", an animal which had no hair on the top of its head. I really thought Okabi was joking. An animal-a man-monkey-with no hair on the top of his head?-a bald-headed ape?" In writing of a close encounter with a gorilla, Du Chaillu states: "Suddenly an immense gorilla advanced out of the wood straight toward us, and gave vent, as he came up, to a terrible howl of rage, as much as to say," I am tired of being pursued, and will face you." It was a lone male, the kind which are always most ferocious. This fellow made the woods resound with his roar, which is really an awful sound, resembling very much the rolling and muttering of distant thunder. . . ." Du Chaillu was eventually able to capture live species of gorilla which he tamed but was unfortunately not immune from the lure of hard drink as Du Chaillu relates: "He showed an extraordinary fondness for strong drink. Whenever a negro had palm wine Tommy was sure to know it. He had a decided taste for Scotch ale, of which I had a few bottles, and he even begged for brandy. Indeed, his last exploit was with a brandy bottle. One day, before going out to the hunt, I had carelessly left the bottle on my chest. The little rascal stole in and seized it; and, being unable to get out the cork, in some way he broke the bottle. When I returned, after some hours' absence, I found my precious bottle broken in pieces! It was the last; and to an African traveler brandy is as indispensable as quinine. Master Tommy was coiled up on the floor amid the fragments in a state of maudlin drunkenness." "Stories of the Gorilla Country" contains descriptions of marvelous adventures and cannot fail to entertain.

A classic study of West African wildlife, culture, and native tribes as they existed in the mid-1800s, written by the first European explorer to confirm the existence of gorillas and African pygmies. The author spent more than five years living among the tribes of Africa, closely observing their customs, culture, and their interactions with the surrounding wildlife. His accounts of native cannibalism, witchcraft, torture, slavery-and the existence of gorillas, till then only hinted at in a fifth Century BC Carthaginian script-led many Europeans and Americans to dispute Du Chaillu's veracity. All his observations were however proven correct, and this book went on to become highly regarded and inspired a whole new set of European explorers to penetrate the Dark Continent. Read of the hilarious African "kings" and their ragged subjects, the truth of African-upon-African slavetrading, the dark and murderous arts of witchdoctors, the almost supernatural awe in which natives held the seemingly all-powerful white person, and, of course, the gorillas of West Africa, with whom the natives waged an ongoing war. A hand-restored version and completely re-set edition, complete with original illustrations.ContentsIntroductionChapter 1: The Wild Country of West Africa Chapter 2: A Week in the Woods Chapter 3: Hunting for a Leopard Chapter 4: The Bay of Corisco Chapter 5: In Search of Cannibals Chapter 6: Journey through the Wilderness Chapter 7: I Arrive among the Cannibals Chapter 8: An Elephant Hunt Chapter 9: Life among the Cannibals Chapter 10: Hunting with Nets Chapter 11: Return to the Coast Chapter 12: The Slave King Chapter 13: The Slave Barracoons Chapter 14: Going into the Interior Chapter 15: Adventures in Ngola Chapter 16: We Shoot a Leopard Chapter 17: Return to Sangatanga Chapter 18: A Jolly Excursion Party Chapter 19: Fishing-but not Bathing!
