| Meer info | “gedaan door den majoor Houghton en den heer Mungo Park, beiden zendelingen der Africasche Maatschappij te London opgerigt, ter bevordering van den voordgang der ontdekkingen in dat werelddeel: verrijkt met eenige aardrijkskundige ophelderingen van den majoor J. Rennell.” Contains the accounts of both Houghton’s journey and the first expedition of Mungo park. “Daniel Houghton was commissioned to proceed from the mouth of the river Gambia on Africa’s western coast, moving inland towards (hopefully) the Niger. He penetrated farther into Africa than any European before him. From the highest navigable point on the Gambia he continued on foot northeast toward Bundu, where the local authorities delayed his passage. Houghton eventually made his way as far as the north Saharan village of Simbing, 160 miles north of the Niger and 500 miles short of Timbuktu, but in September of 1791, he was lured into the desert, robbed, and killed.” |
