"Travels of Richard and John Lander into the Interior of Africa" by Robert Huish is a historical recount focusing on a journey to reveal the path and final point of the Niger River during a period of intense fascination with African geography. Setting the scene, the narrative goes over what was previously known about the continent and how other travelers tried to map out its unknown areas showing the drive that pushed explorers forward, especially the persistence of the Lander brothers as they faced tough situations. Beginning with the stories of those who came before, like Mungo Park, the book explains how understandings changed, leading the British to send Richard and John Lander to sail the Niger, which displays their trip's wide-ranging effects on science and trade. Starting here, the book will share in-depth stories of their travels, experiences with local cultures and the beautiful landscapes found in Africa, along with the problems that came with European exploration at the time.
