"A Journal of a Tour in the Congo Free State" by Marcus R. P. Dorman is a recollection of a trip to the Congo Free State in the 1900s. The story begins with the main character's planning for a hunting trip and his excitement for venturing into uncharted areas. It is a story set in a troubled time, when the land was under colonial rule. Themes such as how the colony was run, what the local people did for customs, and life in a debated land were also present. Dorman starts his trip to the Congo from England, talking about getting ready to go and looking forward to the adventure. He is joined by Lord Mountmorres, who seeks to discover local happenings and bring such information to the attention of European politicians. Their trek across different lands before getting to the Congo River’s start is described, shedding light on what it took to get ready to travel in a tropical area, and the discussions of that time.
