    Extractions: Mungo Park September 20 ) was a Scottish explorer of the African continent. He was born in Selkirkshire , Scotland, at Foulshiels on the Yarrow the farm which his father rented from the Duke of Buccleuch. He was the seventh in a family of thirteen. Having received a good education, he was apprenticed to a surgeon named Thomas Anderson in Selkirk, and then attended the University of Edinburgh for three sessions (1789-1791), obtaining the surgical diploma. By his brother-in-law, James Dickson , a botanist, he was introduced to Sir Joseph Banks , then president of the Royal Society , and thus obtained the post of assistant-surgeon on board the "Worcester" East Indiaman. In this capacity he made the voyage in 1792 to Benkulen, in Sumatra , and on his return in 1793 he contributed a description of eight new Sumatran fishes to the Transactions of the Linnean Society Park in offered his services to the African Association, then looking out for a successor to Major Daniel Houghton, who had been sent out in 1790 to discover the course of the Niger and had died in the Sahara . Supported by Sir Joseph Banks, Park was selected. On

    Extractions: The Arctic and Antarctic By the late 1700's, Europeans were familiar with the coasts of Africa, but the interior of the continent remained a mystery to them. Penetration of the interior was difficult because of the harsh terrain in many places and the presence of deadly diseases, such as malaria and dysentery. Despite these obstacles, Europeans explored most of Africa south of the Sahara during the late 1700's and the 1800's. During the late 1800's, exploration was combined with conquest, and Europeans became the rulers of most of the African continent. During the late 1700's and early 1800's, European explorers tried to solve a mystery that had puzzled geographers for centuries. Ancient writers had mentioned an important African river called the Niger. But they had not known where the river began, in what direction it flowed, and where it ended. In 1796, Mungo Park, a Scottish explorer, reached the Niger near Segou, in what is now Mali. He determined that it flows from west to east. In 1830, Richard Lemon Lander, a British explorer, sailed down the Niger to its mouth in the Gulf of Guinea. During the 1820's, Alexander Gordon Laing, a Scottish explorer, and Rene Caillie (ruh NAY cah YAY), a Frenchman, separately visited the city of Timbuktu, near the Niger in Mali.

Patients treated by cauterising suffered from high fever and their wounds were swollen and painful. His patients suffered little from pain and without swelling. Travelled widely, ever ready to learn from scholars and housewives alike how better to save people from pain. [TUS] PARK, Mungo He returned to Bathurst in 1805 with a party of 40 Britons to compete his exploration of the Niger. By the time he had reached Bamako some 29 had died from malaria and dysentery and all but four died before he set off downriver in a boat. In November he sent one of his guides back to Bathurst with his records to that date. He was never heard from again. Later explorers learnt that his party had been attacked along the river (perhaps for not offering tribune) and finally his boat had been ambushed and all drowned at Bussa Nigeria (about 700km from the mouth of the Niger or about 2500km along the river from Bathurst). His records of the middle section of the Niger had been lost. NZ writer Ruth PARK says he was an ancestor of hers. [DRD] PARK

His trip was a catalogue of disasters, but his account of it was a huge success. Despite his attempts to settle in the Borders, he set off once more in 1805 for Africa on a fateful trip whose participants were decimated by malaria and native attacks; neither Park nor his journals were ever found again.

    Extractions: Mungo Park Introduction Mungo park was the first European to arrive in North Africa at the mouth of the Niger River. He arrived at the river in July 1795. Park had only just returned from Sumatra in Indonesia. On his way back from Sumatra, he discovered 8 new types of fish. He was 23 when he died. METHOD OF TRAVEL Mungo travelled by ship to the North Coast of Africa. From the coast he travelled by horse back, mules and by foot. When Park arrived at the river, he went by canoes and rafts to travel upstream. Places Of Exploration He travelled from Britain to Africa.When Park was half way to the river, he was joined by black slaves. In 1805 Mongo set off to find the source of the Niger River. When he arrived at the River Gambia, he set off on horseback. When he arrived at Segu, he saw the Niger River forthe first time but sadly he had to find another way across due to big floods. At the river he was robbed of half his goods and jewels by an African king's guards. After being robbed, he was captured by Muslims. Park escaped from the Muslims at night. He ran while the guards were sleeping. Park died while trying to get away from attacking Africans in the Niger River.
