The Travels of Mungo Park

The Travels of Mungo Park, published in 1907 by J. M. Dent & Co. and E. P. Dutton & Co., presents the Scottish explorer’s accounts of his expeditions in West Africa during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The volume recounts Park’s routes along the Niger River, describing geographic features, local communities, and the conditions of travel in the region. His observations include notes on climate, trade, material culture, and the challenges posed by disease, terrain, and political instability.
