Download or read book In the Niger Country Classic Reprint written by Harold Bindloss and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Niger Country Between two lines drawn roughly north and south from Sierra Leone to Bojador, and the Bight of Biafra to Fezzan, there lies a vast quadrangular tract of northern Africa, through the heart of which the Niger flows. The story of this region is more or less bound up with that of the great river, for throughout the greater portion of a thousand years rumours of the fertility and wealth of the Niger basin led adventurous explorers, first from the ancient East and then from the young West, onwards into the wilds of the Sudan. Many races, differing widely in origin, character, and mode of life, dwell there, and for the clearer understand ing of its aspect and history it may be divided into three zones.

Download or read book The Story of the Niger written by Robert Richardson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Niger: A Record of Travel and Adventure From the Days of Mungo Park to the Present Time This Story of the Niger is a rapid summary of facts. The material upon which the narrative is based is found scattered over many bulky volumes, such as few readers would have either the leisure or the inclination to attack. But it has been thought that, from the intrinsic interest of the story, a brief continuous narrative might prove acceptable to all who love a tale of travel and adventure. The story in these pages is essentially that told by the actors in the drama themselves, and is such as demanded no decoration at second hand. What has been aimed at was simply to collect all that was most striking and interesting, most pathetic or most humorous, and to weld the whole together in a consecutive and trust worthy narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Niger to the Nile, Vol. 2 of 2 They are a nomad robber tribe, who live in the French Sahara beyond the River Yo, where they lead a camp life, and their only industry is rearing sheep and cattle, the wool and skins of which they bring to the markets to exchange for corn. No doubt their flocks and herds are raised from the animals they carry off on their raids across the river into Bornu. Also we have seen that they kidnap women and children when they get the chance, and sell them to the Budumas for slaves. They are armed with long spears and ride camels and small ponies, on which they are accustomed to travel very great distances, concentrating quickly at the point where a raid has been determined upon, and scattering to disappear as suddenly when they are met by too strong a resistance.

This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Charge Delivered on the Banks of the River Niger in West Africa This abandonment of the Expedition was a heavy blow to the country. It appeared as if the Niger was doomed to remain in perpetual seclusion, and its mighty waters destined to float down only human cargoes, aggravating the miseries of the country and her people - as if, instead of becoming a highway through which to convey light, life, and liberty into the heart of the country, it should present as it were an impassable barrier to their introduction, and thus keep the people and country still in the darkness of superstition, ignorance, and Vice, in a most servile and abject degradation and slavery, and in a state of spiritual death, in trespasses and sins.

This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Campaigning on the Upper Nile and Niger I must plead as an excuse for writing this book the interest now being taken in the countries about the source of the Nile, to which a railway is hastening from the East Coast, and in the valuable Niger terri tories which recent events have brought so prominently before the public. My grateful thanks are due to Sir George Goldie for having honoured me by writing an Introduction. I am much indebted to Lieutenant A. H. Festing for allowing me to make use of his drawings for the Graphic during the Niger Sudan Campaign, which, by the courtesy of the Editor, I have been able to te produce. I have also to thank the Manager of the T imes for kind permission to make use of letters which I wrote for the Times on the Niger, and Major Pulteney, Mr. Edward Heawood, m.a., and Dr. Scott Keltie, for their kind assistance in looking over the proofs. I have done my best to eliminate the dull record of latitudes and longitudes, and of the geographical work, which is embodied in the maps at the end of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Up the Niger: Narrative of Major Claude Macdonald's Mission to the Niger and Benue Rivers, West Africa The greater part of our time was naturally devoted to the most important object of the mission, viz., the inquiry into the working of the Royal Niger Company and as we were continually on the move, inspecting stations and inter viewing chiefs, there was little leisure for sport of any kind. The origin and growth of the first British chartered company in Africa is somewhat remarkable; and in these days, when British companies, with and without charters, are breaking fresh ground all over the Dark Continent, a summary of events which have resulted in the trade of one of the largest rivers of Africa falling into the hands of British merchants may be worthy of record.

It will probably interest my readers if I set down for their information a short sketch of the history and doings of this gallant regiment, dating back as it does to the early days of the British Overseas Empire.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Niger written by Abdourahmane Idrissa and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sitting on the cusp between Mediterranean and sub-Saharan Africa, Niger is in many ways a remarkable place, blending in the harsh Sahelian environment a great diversity of cultures and lifestyles to make up a poor but resilient nation. The country was established in the early 20th century in what used to be the busy crossroad of exchanges between the kingdoms and empires of West Africa and the Arab-Islamic world. The resulting melting pot is a blend of Western Sudanic cultures, manifest in particular in its food, music, and dance, as well as in the enduring rituals and practices of animist religions, along with a good deal of Arab culture imported through the Islamic religion and a dash of French culture. The fourth edition of the Historical Dictionary of Niger covers the history of the peoples of the Republic of Niger from medieval times to the present. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries covering elements of pre-colonial and colonial history, recent politics, cinema, literature, religion, economics, and finance. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Niger.
