Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Story of the Niger"" is a historical account of the exploration and travels along the Niger River in Africa, from the time of Mungo Park in the late 18th century to the late 19th century. Written by Robert Richardson, the book details the challenges and dangers faced by explorers and traders who ventured into the interior of Africa, including encounters with hostile tribes, disease, and natural obstacles. The book also explores the impact of European colonialism on the region, including the slave trade, the establishment of trading posts, and the eventual colonization of the area by European powers. Through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, ""Story of the Niger"" provides a comprehensive look at the history and culture of the Niger River region, and the role it played in shaping the continent of Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
