Book Summary
London, 1788: a group of British gentlemen---geographers, scholars, politicians,
humanitarians, and traders---decide it is time to solve the mysteries of
Africa's unknown interior regions. Inspired by the Enlightenment quest for
knowledge, they consider it a slur on the age that the interior of Africa still
remains a mystery, that maps of the "dark continent" are populated with mythical
beasts, imaginary landmarks, and fabled empires. As well, they hoped that more
accurate knowledge of Africa would aid in the abolition of the slave trade.
These men, a mixed group of soldiers and gentlemen, ex-convicts, and social
outcasts, form the African Association, the world's first geographical society,
