Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A White Woman in Central Africa During the last few years, Africa has been very much in the minds of people everywhere; especially has it been in the minds of the British people, therefore I hope it will be thought that no apology is necessary for my writing this brief account of a lady's journey from the mouth of the Zambesi to the great Lake Tanganyika, which divides German East Africa from the Congo Free State. The journey was full of interest to me, and, having been undertaken through love of travel, and for the purposes of observation only, has presented to me aspects and incidents of native life in British Central Africa which, I hope, will interest and amuse those who have neither time nor inclination to travel so far.

Download or read book Wild Life in Central Africa Classic Reprint written by Denis D. Lyell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Life in Central Africa This book is a simple account of the ripe experience of ten years spent in Central Africa, which is the tract of country known as Nyasaland and north-eastern Rhodesia. The former protectorate used to be known as British Central Africa, and the latter territory is now amalgamated iwith north-western Rhodesia, known collectively as Northern Rhodesia, to distinguish it from Southern Rhodesia, which embraces the old-time territories of Matabeleland and Mashonaland. For the last ten years I have spent a wandering sort of life in Nyasaland and north-eastern Rhodesia, so, to get a short and descriptive title, I use the title Wild Life in Central Africa. I am afraid this is rather a disjointed kind of volume, digressions are frequent, and possibly there is a certain amount of repetition. For this I can only plead that I have suffered much from malarial fever, both in India and Central Africa, and my memory is such that I sometimes forget what I have written soon afterwards.

Download or read book Tippoo Tib written by Heinrich Brode and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tippoo Tib: The Story of His Career in Central Africa Narrated From His Own Accounts It must be admitted that Tippoo Tib was a slave trader. These pages, based upon his own statements, give some inkling of the unscrupulous cruelty with which he dealt with natives, and clearly much remains untold. In excuse, one can only say that the cruelty of the slave-traders was not greater than the cruelty of the natives to one another. One eminent Arab, when criticized by Europeans for his slave-trading propensities, used to relate how he had fallen in with a tribe who were accustomed to eat their prisoners of war. He bought all these prisoners for a small sum, and made them his slaves, which he maintained, with a logic difficult to con trovert, was far better for them than the other fate. Still, no doubt Tippoo Tib's commercial journeys were in the main plundering expeditions. Anything else, any introduction of law and order, any spread of civilization, was merely subsidiary and incidental. But he was intelligent, not wantonly brutal, as many traders were; he had a far better idea of organizing a rough-and - ready administration than most Arabs, and he was always friendly to Euro peans. By the assistance which he rendered to them he indirectly contributed in no small measure to the civilization of Africa, for which the Arabs themselves have done so little. He was practically King of an enormous territory, but his power was never officially recognized even by his own Sovereign. Had it been, the future of East and Central Africa might have been materially changed, for the chief argument advanced by the European Powers who appropriated the hinterland behind the coast was that the Sultan had no effective jurisdiction over the natives there. But, as Dr. Brode points out, Seyyid Burghash, the Sultan of the period, had no talent or inclination for politics, and cared only for trade in its crudest aspects. He wished to get as much ivory as possible from the interior, but he did not care anything about the position and character of the countries which produced it. Yet perhaps pessimism rather than stupidity was the motive of his conduct. 'hamed, ' be said to Tippoo Tib, be not angry with me; I want to have no more to do with the main land. The Europeans want to take Zanzibar here from me; how should I be able to keep the main land 7' And Tippoo Tib adds When I heard those words I knew that it was all up with us.' It certainly was. The Sultan's dominions on the main land soon became little more than a legal fiction, and he retains Zanzibar only on condition of also accepting the doubtful blessing of British protection.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chiefs and Cities of Central Africa, Across Lake Chad by Way of British, French, and German Territories I am told that it is expected of the writer of a book of travels to set forth clearly and concisely the objects with his or her journey was undertaken and the results achieved. I must beg leave to be excused from so business-like a proceeding, and further ask my critics not to read on if they expect more than a simple unexaggerated narrative of travel through little-known regions. In the course of our journey, which lasted from August 1910 till May 1911, my companions, Mr and Mrs P. A. Talbot, and I passed through countries under French and under German administration, where the Residents of both nationalities invariably showed us the utmost consideration. Nothing could have surpassed their generous help, and as we had come without notice or introduction, I cannot express too strongly our gratitude for their spontaneous kindness. To Herr von Raben, Commandant Maillard, and Captain Facon we are particularly beholden. We also received much kindness and assistance from many British officials.

Download or read book The English in Africa Classic Reprint written by David Mills and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English in Africa Accept, and the boundary line is finally settled between the French Soudan and the British Niger country, as extending a long way east of the line drawn due south from Say, and which France, a little earlier, proposed to accept. So, also, what is called French Ubangi, which lies east of the Cameroons country, has been extended eastward to the western water shed of the Nile, and northward so as to embrace the Sultanate of Wadai, that lies eastward of Lake Tchad, and northward to the Turkish Vilayet of Tripoli. One-third of the continent of Africa is Ito-day under the dominion of France. But while the territories of France, in Africa, are very extensive, they are not commercially as advantageous as those which have fallen to the lot of England, and which have been, for the most part, brought under English jurisdiction, after English explorers and merchant-traders had acquired important interests in the country. The British possessions in Africa include Gambia, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, Lagos, the Niger Coast Protectorate and the great territory to the north, which, until recently, was under the {royal Niger Company, but is now under the direct authority of the Crown. The other British possessions are Cape Colony, Natal, Zululand, Basutoland, Bechuanaland, the Protectorate of Bechuanaland, British South Africa, British Central Africa, Nyasaland, the Protectorate of British East Africa, Somali land, the Soudan and Egypt. And to these, no doubt, will be added, as a result of the war now in progress, the South African Republic and the Orange Free State. In the present work, I have dealt with the English in Egypt, in the Soudan, in the Protectorate of British East Africa, in the Niger coun try, and in South Africa. In the Niger country, in Egypt, and in Soudan, England has been brought diplomatically in conflict with France. In East Africa, and in south-west Africa, in diplomatic conflict with Germany; in Central Africa, into diplomatic conflict with Portugal and in South Eastern Africa, into hostilities with the two Boer Republics. Portugal claimed to hold possession of territory extending. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Health in Africa: A Medical Handbook for European Travellers and Residents, Embracing a Study of Malarial Fever as It Is Found in British Central Africa Central Africa under present conditions is not healthy. The Highlands are better than the Lowlands, but the land has to be very lofty in altitude to be above the fever zone. Yet the vast countries which lie between the Tropics in Africa are - most of them - richly endowed with sources of wealth. As a rule, the land is fertile and well watered - markedly so compared with Central Australia and many parts of South America. The rocks contain precious metals and precious stones. The forests furnish timbers, gums, drugs, and dyes of value. 'the animal world provides us with beautiful furs, with hides, ivory, and wax. The human population, living mostly in a state of savagery, attracts the atten tion of missionaries of many forms of Christian doctrine who desire to raise the negro to an appreciation of civilised life and to a definite religion. How are these sources of wealth to be tapped, how are these works to be carried on, if the European pioneer cannot retain his health?

All his allusions to well known public characters and events have been exa mined, and found to be correct; so that it is fair to accept his testimony on other points. He travelled 'with peculiar advantages in countries, one of which, Darfur, has been only once visited by a European, namely, Brown, in 1793; whilst the other has never been described, except in this instance, by an eye.
