Extractions: ekspedition i ungdomshøjde Opdagelsesrejsende Da europæerne drog ud på de store opdagelsesrejser til Afrika omkring starten af 1800-tallet, var et af de store mål at finde udspringet til de to store floder, Nilen og Nigeren. I omkring 100 år havde man i England haft den opfattelse, at Nigeren hang sammen med Nilen, hvis man bare fulgte floden længe nok. I 1788 dannede man i England Det Afrikanske Selskab, hvis formål var at finde Timbuktu og Niger-flodens udspring. Den skotske opdagelsesrejsende Mungo Park drog i 1795 ud på sin første rejse for at finde Nigerens udspring. I begyndelsen vidste han ikke, om han ledte efter begyndelsen eller slutningen på floden for man vidste på det tidspunkt ikke, hvilken vej floden løb. Mungo Park gik i land i Afrika ved Gambia-flodens udløb i Atlanterhavet i 1795. Herfra drog han ind i landet gennem det, der i dag er Senegal, og nåede ind i det nuværende Mali, hvor han første gang så Nigeren. På Mungo Parks første tur langs med Nigeren nåede han i virkeligheden ikke særlig langt op ad floden, kun til det nuværende Segou. I 1805 drog han af sted igen endnu engang med det formål at finde ud af, hvor Nigeren førte hen. Heller ikke denne gang lykkedes det for ham at komme hele vejen, om end han da nåede meget længere end på den første tur. Til gengæld fik han ikke set ret meget af landskabet langs floden eller mødt ret mange af de mennesker, der boede i området for han blev i sin kano på det meste af turen ned ad floden og skød på alt og alle, der nærmede sig. Mungo Park druknede ved Bussa, der ligger i det nuværende Nigeria.

Smiley Public Library SUMMARY The decision of a men's discussion society meeting in London in 1788 to promote the investigation and exploration of West Africa was principally one of intellectual curiosity on the part of the members. over the next forty years however, it led to the opening of this enormous and hidden area of the world as well as setting the foundation for the commercial and military domination of this part of Africa by the British and French empires. This was accomplished at little cost to the involved governments but at a terrible price paid by the ill-equipped vainglorious young men sent out by these armchair dilettantes.

Our Kavanaghs "Lander" the Name Lander Coat of Arms (or Blazon of Arms) Described as: "Paly of eight Sable and Or, a fesse Gules" which means eight pales or vertical stripes coloured black and gold plus a red horizontal stripe through the middle. The paly denoted military strength and courage and bestowed on defenders of the state in ancient times. The fesse is the military belt or girdle of honour. It is important to note that being a Lander is no proof that we can claim the blazon as ours. There has been no effort to trace back to the original recipient of the blazon. If it was granted long enough ago then most Landers may be able to claim it. There is another coat of arms for Lander. This is Lander of St. Ives, Cornwall. As our Thomas Lander came from Derby, it can be discounted. Lander Crest Described as "A hand issuing from a cloud holding a sword wavy all Proper" The hand is the pledge of Faith, Sincerity and Justice. All proper simply means coloured the normal colour of a sword ie blue or silver. Lander name derivation England is the Country of origin for the name Lander. The name includes the spelling variables Launder, Lavender, Landor and Launders and are derived from the occupation of a person.- one who may have washed and bleached flax, cloth or wool etc. A launderer. In the old Norman French a washer man or woman was a lavandier or lavandiere. (Defined as such in Middle English Dictionary around 1325) The name Landers is simply the son of Lander. However some researchers indicate the name Lander may be of Danish or Germanic origin. The Anglo Saxon origin Landweard is a possibility, meaning a landwarden.

The Slave Route, UNESCO - Division of Intercultural Projects, 1, rue Miollis - 75732 Paris Cedex 15 - France At the proposal of Haiti and some African countries, the General Conference of UNESCO approved at its 27 th Session in 1993 the implementation of the "The Slave Route" Project (Resolution 27 C/3.13). The project was officially launched during the First Session of the International Scientific Committee of the Slave Route in September 1994 in Ouidah (Benin), one of the former pivots of the Slave trade in the Gulf of Guinea. The official documents of Ouidah were brought out in book form by UNESCO Publishing in 1998 under the title "From Chains to Bonds: the Slave Trade Revisited". The idea of a "Route" expresses the dynamics of the movement of peoples, civilizations and cultures, while that of "slave" addresses not only the universal phenomenon of slavery, but also in a more precise and explicit way the transatlantic slave trade in the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean. The Slave Route Project has a double objective: on the one hand it aims to break a silence and make universally known the subject of the transatlantic slave trade and slavery in the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean, with its causes and modalities, by means of scientific work. On the other hand, it aims to emphasize, in an objective way its consequences, especially the interactions between the peoples concerned in Europe, Africa and the Caribbean.

Extractions: by Ian McCall BACK TO INDEX Chapter 5 - LAGOS STILL My stint at headquarters was to get to know the work involved in the marketing of produce. At that time the jobs of Marketing Officer and Produce Officer were interchangeable, the knowledge of both jobs being seen as a required background for officers performing either function. It was during this attachment that I went to Kano. I was asked if I would like to continue working in the Marketing Division but declined as I was sure I would prefer the outside work. I hadn`t come to Nigeria to spend all my time sat behind a desk. I was to have no regrets. Lander was to return to Badagri with his brother from his native Cornwall two years later in a successful attempt to prove conclusively that the Niger flowed into the Bight of Benin and not into Lake Chad or the Nile as people had earlier believed. He followed the route he had taken with Clapperton and returned down the Niger by canoe to Brass in the Niger Delta, braving all sorts of hazards on the way. He it was who heralded the possibility of water communication on the Niger and its tributaries and the water-borne trade that would follow. In the process he discovered the remains of an earlier intrepid explorer, Mungo Park, at Bussa on the Niger. Like Park, he himself had a violent death on the river. Park is commemorated suitably in his native Selkirk.

When the upper Niger had this direction, the Wadi Taffassassent, now a dried-up river of the central Sahara, which rose in the Ahaggar mountains, is believed to have formed the upper course of the existing lower Niger. While the upper and lower parts of the Niger have all the appearance of ancient streams, the middle Niger is the result of a "recent" capture; " it has no past, it scarcely has a present " (see R. Chudeau, Sahara soudanais, Paris, 1909). o the east, between 15 and 20 E. (see Rennell's map in Horne-mann's Travels, 1802).

The greater part of this work was the composition of Denham, Clapperton only writing a minor part, respecting the excursion to Jackatoo, which, however, is not the least interesting in the book. The subject of our memoir wrote in a plain, manly, unaffected style, as might have been expected from his character. The work was published under the immediate superintendence of major Denham; and it was not the fate of Clapperton ever to see the result of his labours in print.

Extractions: Bryn Mawr College Library Special Collections Description Census of Related BMC Library Travel Literature Geographical Groups Africa remained largely unexplored by Europeans long after commercial, colonial, and missionary activities had been established in Asia and the Americas. Christian missionaries were among the first Europeans to venture into the interior of Africa, and occasionally they had their experiences published. A seventeenth-century example is Giovanni Antonio Cavazzi's Istorica descrizione de' tre' regni Congo, Matamba et Angola . Interest in Africa increased as the wealth of the continent's resources became apparent. In 1734, a time when the commodification of the African people depended upon their dehumanization at the hands of European colonizers, William Snelgrave wrote a formulaic description of European activity in Africa entitled A New Account of Some Parts of Guinea, and the Slave-Trade Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa is a case in point.
