The Company of Royal Adventurers Trading into Africa, written by George Frederick Zook and first published in 1919, is a historical account of the British company of the same name that was established in the mid-17th century. The book explores the company's formation, its early years of operation, and its eventual decline and dissolution. Zook provides a detailed examination of the company's involvement in the African slave trade, including its acquisition of forts and trading posts along the West African coast and its transportation of enslaved Africans to the Americas. He also discusses the company's attempts to diversify its trade, including its involvement in the ivory and gold trades.Throughout the book, Zook examines the political and economic factors that influenced the company's operations, including its relationship with the British government and its competition with other European trading companies. He also provides insight into the daily lives of the company's employees and the impact of the company's activities on African societies.The Company of Royal Adventurers Trading into Africa is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the African slave trade and the role of European trading companies in the colonization of Africa. Zook's thorough research and clear writing make this book an accessible and informative read for scholars and general readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
