| 520 | _a"Through Timbuctu and across the Great Sahara" by A. H. W. Haywood is an adventurous travel account written in the early 20th century. The narrative chronicles the author's explorative journey starting from Sierra Leone, traversing through various landscapes and cultures along the Niger River, and culminating in a crossing of the Sahara Desert to Algiers. The book likely delves into the customs and challenges encountered during this expedition, shedding light on the regions and peoples of West Africa. At the start of the account, the author expresses his fascination with the allure of Africa, detailing his preparations for the journey, which include securing leaves, organizing supplies, and selecting a servant proficient in necessary languages. He embarks on his journey in January, traveling by train towards the Sierra Leone Railway’s terminus while encountering the bustling life in Freetown. The text paints vivid imagery of both the landscape and the locals, as well as the practical challenges of travel in the bush, including negotiating with porters and dealing with the local tribes. The opening establishes a strong sense of adventure and exploration, setting the stage for the encounters and experiences that await Haywood on his journey.
