520			_a"Travels in West Africa: Congo Français, Corisco and Cameroons" by Mary H. Kingsley is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's explorations of West Africa, particularly focusing on the rich and diverse cultures, landscapes, and experiences she encountered during her journeys. Through her narrative, Kingsley offers readers insights not only into the natural beauty of the regions she visited but also into the lives of the indigenous peoples she met. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces her motivations for traveling to West Africa, highlighting her desire to learn about the tropics. Kingsley recounts the uncertainties and challenges she faced, including warnings about the health risks associated with the region. Through personal anecdotes, she describes her departure from England and the various ports of call she encounters, including Sierra Leone and the Gold Coast. In her vivid observations, Kingsley captures both the charm and the harsh realities of life along the West African coast, setting the stage for her explorations that blend natural history and cultural anthropology.
