Publisher's Synopsis
""Two Trips to Gorilla Land and the Cataracts of the Congo V1"" is a book written by Richard F. Burton. It is a travelogue that chronicles the author's two expeditions to Africa, where he explored the gorilla-inhabited regions of Gabon and the Congo River. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume describing Burton's first trip to Africa, during which he encountered gorillas for the first time and made his way up the Congo River to the Cataracts. The second volume describes his second trip, during which he revisited the gorilla territories and explored the region further. The book is a fascinating account of Burton's adventures in Africa, and it provides a unique insight into the natural history and culture of the region. It is a must-read for anyone interested in African exploration, gorilla conservation, or the history of travel writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
