About This Item
New York: J.& J. Harper , 1832. First American Edition. 2 volumes, 12mo, original stiff cardboad or possibly printed cloth, illustrated with two maps (one folding) and three plates. Repairs to joints of volume one, tape repairs to folding map, some foxing and aging; otherwise about very good. Before he set out on this expedition, Richard Lander was considered one of the most experienced British African explorers of his time. He had been the sole survivor of the Clapperton expedition, and made an impressive solo trek to the coast with the expeditions papers and journals. He and his brother made an important contribution to mapping out the territory where the Niger terminates.
