Up The Niger is a historical account of Major Claude Macdonald's expedition to the Niger and Benue Rivers in West Africa. Written by A.F. Mockler-Ferryman, the book provides a detailed narrative of the journey, documenting the challenges and triumphs of the mission. The book covers the period of 1897-1898, when Major Macdonald was sent by the British government to explore the region and establish trade relations with the local tribes. The book describes the various obstacles faced by the expedition, including hostile tribes, treacherous terrain, and disease. It also provides insights into the local cultures, customs, and traditions of the people along the route. The author's vivid descriptions of the landscape, wildlife, and people make this book a fascinating read for anyone interested in African history and exploration. Overall, Up The Niger is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a little-known period of West African history and the role of British colonialism in the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
