Book Overview

Through Central Africa: From Coast To Coast (1915) is a travelogue written by James Barnes, chronicling his journey through the heart of Africa from the coast of Liberia to the coast of Mozambique. The book is a fascinating account of his experiences and encounters with the diverse cultures, landscapes, and wildlife of this vast and largely unexplored region. Barnes provides vivid descriptions of the people he meets, including hunters, traders, and tribal chiefs, as well as the many challenges he faces along the way, such as navigating treacherous rivers, enduring extreme weather conditions, and battling disease. He also offers insights into the political and social landscape of the region, including the impact of colonialism and the struggles for independence. Throughout the book, Barnes demonstrates a deep respect for the people and the land he encounters, and his writing is infused with a sense of wonder and adventure that will captivate readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
