Major Dixon Denham (1786 1828) and Lieutenant Hugh Clapperton (1788
1827) were British explorers famous for their explorations in
Africa. Between 1822 and 1825, they set out to investigate the
lower course of the River Niger and the swamps and forests of the
Guinea Coast, accompanied by the physician Dr Walter Oudney (1790
1824), who sadly died of a fever during the expedition. This
important book, first published in 1826, brings together the
memoirs of all three explorers to document their mission, which
represented the first complete crossing of the Sahara by Europeans
in recorded history. Diverse and insightful, it recounts phenomena
such as the transportation of slaves from the Sudan, the salt
industry in the heart of the desert, and encounters with native
tribes. Providing unique insights into pre-colonial Africa, these
vivid recollections remain of great interest to historians of
Africa, cultural anthropologists and geographers alike.
