Synopsis
This book examines the Niger River, one of the world's most significant yet least understood natural features. By scrutinizing geographical texts, both ancient and modern, this book argues that the Niger branches out to feed not only the Nile but also numerous other significant rivers on the continent. In addition to its geographical analysis, the book also provides a stunning glimpse into the history of the region, drawing on sources as diverse as Herodotus, Ptolemy, and ancient Arabian geographers, as well as modern explorers such as Denham, Clapperton, and Park. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the historical or geographical study of Africa.
