To the Gold Coast for Gold - A Personal Narrative (Paperback): Richard Francis Burton, Verney Lovett Cameron To the Gold Coast for Gold - A Personal Narrative (Paperback)
Richard Francis Burton, Verney Lovett Cameron
R1,089 Discovery Miles 10 890 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

First published in 1883, this travel memoir describes the journey into West Africa undertaken by explorers Richard Burton (1821 90) and Verney Lovett Cameron (1844 94) in 1881. The mission for the two men was to assess the mining potential of the west coast, first observed by Burton in a publication that had appeared twenty years earlier. The first few chapters of Volume 1 cover Burton's journey from Trieste to Lisbon, Madeira and Tenerife and on to Africa during the winter of 1881, including descriptions of Mount Atlas and the Canary Islands. The volume finishes with their arrival in Sierra Leone. The expedition was cut short by the Foreign Office, who feared for the safety of the two explorers. Burton returned to Europe with a large collection of plant and animal specimens, and the pair sent 151 plant species, lists of which are included in the appendices, to Kew Gardens.

The mission for the two men was to assess the mining potential of the west coast, first observed by Burton in a publication that had appeared twenty years earlier. Volume 2 starts with the men in Sierra Leone and describes the journey to Axim, 'the gold port of the past and the future' in Ghana. The subsequent chapters describe various expeditions made out of Axim and the examination of some mines. The journey was cut short by the Foreign Office, who feared for the safety of the two explorers. Burton returned to Europe with a large collection of plant and animal specimens, and the pair sent 151 plant species, lists of which are included in the appendices, to Kew Gardens.

Leaving the banks of the Luama, we forded an affluent--the Lulwu, thirty yards in width and four feet in depth--and, marching two miles farther, reached the bend of the Luama, where we had arranged to cross it. Canoes were here in readiness; but as there were only tbree, the work of getting the caravan over occupied some time, for the river was fully a hundred yards in width and eight to ten feet deep in the middle, and had steep banks. While we were thus engaged, at 9h. 10m. local mean time, there was a slight shock of earthquake; a low, rumbling sound and a faint though distinctly perceptible tremor of the ground passing from east-north-east to west-south-west. A large number of hippopotami were blowing in mid-stream, on our reaching the river, so I occupied myself by firing at them. One, getting a bullet and shell in his head in rapid succession, sunk, and the rest cleared out, which was a very desirable result, since they often hog up underneath a canoe in deep water, and heave it right out, capsizing all the occupants. The canoes bore marks of the tusks of these brutes, which look upon them as intruders, and often attack them wantonly. By the time the caravan had been ferried over, the sun was very powerful, and it was too late to proceed farther; so we camped in a small scattered village about a mile from the river. Although they afterward became common, I here saw for the first time large platforms, on which were stored huge bundles of grass ready for thatching the huts on the approach of the rainy season. The two centre-poles of the platform, w...
