Stanley, the Fearless and Peerless Explorer of the Dark Continent For centuries Africa has been the dark continent of our globe. The sea-washed edges of this immense tract have been known time immemorial. Egypt, at its northeastern corner, is the Oldest of the governments of the earth; while the nations skirting the Red and the Mediterranean seas were actors in the earliest recorded history. But Africa as a whole has been an unknown land. That it was a fertile land, was demonstrated by the treasures brought from its depths by those mighty rivers, the Nile, the Niger and the Congo. That it was populous, was proven by the fact that its native tribes had furnished to the world with out, forty millions of slaves in the period of two centuries. Both the Slave-hunter and the slave told wondrous tales of the inner depths of the land, but these were mere hints as to the actual facts of the case. Africa remained a mystery and a riddle, that seemingly were never to be penetrated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
