The second classic study of African wildlife, culture, and native tribes as they existed in the mid-1800s, written by the first European explorer to confirm the existence of gorillas and African pygmies. Following on from his sensation Stories of the Gorilla Country, adventurer Paul du Chaillu describes in vivid detail African life before the advent of European colonization, and the astonishing practices, culture and environment which existed at this time. This work is particularly valuable as it shows, without prejudice or favor, Africa as it was, as seen by one of the first European explorers to set foot inside the interior of the Dark Continent. Read of the "costumes of some African kings" (consisting of old torn shirts obtained from passing European ships, or European shoes handed down for two generations like a holy relic), African witchcraft, and much more. This book is another eye-opening account of Africa in its natural state, and contains many sobering lessons applicable to the present-day-if the reader has the vision to see and understand their meaning. This is a hand-restored and re-set edition, complete with original illustrations.
