Written in 1855 from the unusual perspective of a freed slave turned linguist and clergyman, this eventful journal charts the steamboat Pleiad's expedition along the rivers of West Africa. It contains a detailed account of the explorers' interactions with native peoples and their encounters with slavery and tribal conflict.
