Description
A first-hand narrative of Baikie's expedition up the Niger River in 1854. The object, of course, was to open the area to trade with the British, which also implied missions, etc. Indeed, one of the expedition members was Samuel Ajayi Crowther, a "recaptured slave", originally from Yorubaland in s.w. Nigeria, who was then a missionary at Sierra Leone and later became the first Anglican Bishop of the Niger. Definitely of interest to the serious student of African history; possibly of interest to the general reader. One has to hold one's nose against the pervasive racism in the narrative.
