Reseña del libro "Journal of a Second Expedition Into the Interior of Africa From the Bight of Benin to Soccatoo (Cambridge Library Collection - African Studies) (en Inglés)"
After serving in the Royal Navy in Canada, Hugh Clapperton (1788–1827) participated in two expeditions to the interior of Africa. Richard Lander (1804–34), a young Cornishman who had travelled widely in the service of previous employers, applied to accompany him on the second expedition, during which Clapperton died. Lander published this edition of Clapperton's journal in 1829; an expanded version (also available in this series) appeared the following year. Clapperton's account of his experiences is informal, lively and vivid, describing hospitality and annoyances, discomforts and pleasures. Although its language and attitudes are typical of the early colonial period, it remains a valuable source for West African history. The book also contains a short biography of Clapperton, Lander's emotional account of his master's illness and death, and his journal of his lonely return journey. The appendix includes meteorological observations, notes on Arabic documents, and Yoruba vocabulary.
