Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the vivid firsthand account of the author's journey to Africa in 1821 as part of a delegation tasked with identifying suitable land for a settlement of freed Black Americans. It shares the challenges and successes of their mission and provides a rich historical lens to view the realities of West Africa at this time. The author's frank descriptions encompass not only the serene beauty of the land but also the confronting reality of the slave trade. He sensitively narrates the inherent dignity and desire for education and self-improvement shown by the indigenous people he encountered while highlighting the devastating impact of the slave trade on their communities.
