The book recounts Wollaston's journey across Africa, from the Ruwenzori Mountains in Uganda to the Congo River. As a naturalist, Wollaston provides detailed observations and descriptions of the flora and fauna he encounters along the way, including elephants, gorillas, and various species of birds. He also documents the different cultures and customs of the various African tribes he encounters, providing insight into the social and political landscape of the continent at the time.Throughout the book, Wollaston reflects on the challenges and dangers of his journey, including navigating treacherous terrain, encountering hostile tribes, and battling illness. He also shares his thoughts on the impact of European colonization on Africa and the need for conservation efforts to protect the continent's natural resources.Overall, From Ruwenzori To The Congo is a fascinating account of a naturalist's journey through Africa, providing a unique perspective on the continent's wildlife, culture, and history at the turn of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
