The Penetration of Africa : European Enterprise and Exploration Principally in Northern and Western Africa up to 1830

Omtale

In 1750, most of the interior of Africa was unknown to Europeans. By 1830 a large part of the northern half of Africa had been visited and described by European explorers. This book (1965) traces the exciting story of this movement of penetration and attempts to set it in the perspective both of European and of African history.
