Description
Excerpt from On Horseback Through Nigeria: Or Life and Travel in the Central Sudan
The tour of the Protectorate was not wholly accomplished by me in a single journey, as described in the text. Some portions of the country were visited at an earlier date in the course of my wanderings as the principal officer of the Mineral Survey. The journey as described, how ever, ''is by no means an impossible one for an experienced traveller, able to obtain fresh horses and carriers as required throughout the course of his travels.
I am indebted to the executors of the late Mr. Arthur Longbottom for the photographs from which have been prepared the illustrations facing pages 24, 28, 32, 72, 112, 140, 162, 176, 238.
