First Published in 1967. Herodotus claims that the earliest voyage for exploring Africa was made by an African, Pharaoh Necho in B.C. 600. This title sets out to assess this claim and explore the future explorations with reference to, arguably, the most memorable voyage by Hanno of Carthage in B.C. 450. George spans a range of sources going as far as 1827 to produce an extensive study on the rise of British West Africa. > Introduction; Chapter 1a History of African Slavery; Chapter 1 Discovery and Description of Sierra Leone; Chapter 2 A French Invasion; Chapter 3 The Settlers\u2019 Rising; Chapter 4 Events of 1800; Chapter 5 The Temne Risings; Chapter 6 The Bananas Islands; Chapter 7 The Sierra Leone Company; Chapter 8 Subsequent History of the Sierra Leone Company, 1791\u20131807; Chapter 9 Observations on the Preceding Chapter; Chapter 10 Fortifications of the Colony\u2014Treaties and Conventions; Chapter 11 A Brief Sketch of the Constitution Down to 1807; Chapter 12 The Africa;
