Firs published in 1799, an especially lovely copy of this 1844 reprint edition that gave readers a description of daily life in west Africa. "Park was sent by the African Association to trace the course of the Niger River from its source. He recounts tales of the Mandingo country and the city of Timbuktu. He made two such trips to Africa and was killed during a tribal altercation in 1812." (Blockson)
