Great African Travellers: From Mungo Park to Livingstone and Stanley

"Great African Travellers: From Mungo Park to Livingstone and Stanley" by William Henry Giles Kingston discusses the bravery of men and women exploring uncharted lands and dealing with hostile native populations and exotic illnesses. Africa has always been an exotic and faraway land. This book helped bring some of the history, layout, and culture to the masses in a way that didn't downplay the excitement and danger one can face when traveling somewhere new.
