Through the Dark Continent, Vol. 2

This two-volume set, narrated in Stanley's vivid prose, recounts a perilous expedition through Central Africa. Bristling with action, Stanley's well-illustrated reminiscences abound in fascinating details about native peoples, customs, and culture. Vol. 2 concludes the lake explorations and follows the expedition down the Congo River. 58 black-and-white illustrations. 7 maps.
