Across Africa - Verney Lovett Cameron - Bog

""Across Africa"" is a travel memoir written by Verney Lovett Cameron, a British explorer who embarked on a journey across the African continent in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Cameron's experiences as he travels from the east coast of Africa to the west coast, encountering various African tribes and landscapes along the way. Cameron's journey begins in Zanzibar, where he sets out with a caravan of porters and guides. He travels through the interior of Tanzania and Uganda, encountering the Maasai and other tribes, before crossing Lake Victoria and continuing on to Sudan. From there, he travels through the Sahara desert, encountering the Tuareg people and facing the challenges of the harsh terrain. Cameron eventually reaches the west coast of Africa, where he travels down the Niger River and through the Kingdom of Dahomey (now Benin). He also explores the Congo River and the Angola region before finally reaching the coast of Angola, where he concludes his journey. Throughout the book, Cameron provides vivid descriptions of the people, landscapes, and wildlife he encounters, as well as the challenges he faces on his journey. He also reflects on the impact of European colonization on Africa and the ways in which it has affected the continent's people and cultures. ""Across Africa"" is a fascinating account of one man's journey through a rapidly changing continent, and provides valuable insights into the history and culture of Africa during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
