In 1795, a 24-year-old Scottish physician set out from Gambia to trace the course of the Niger, a river of which Europeans had no firsthand knowledge—this is his journal of that extraordinary two-year journey.
Inside are descriptions of African life and culture as they were prior to colonial influence, including accounts of war, politics, slave trade, and everyday life. These detailed notes provide a singular array of geographic and anthropological information.
