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 .

North America The Pacific Ocean and Australia Africa Stanley and Livingstone Other explorers of Africa ... The Arctic and Antarctic Africa 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.

Rejected common practice of cauterising wounds with hot irons and boiling oil. Instead used ointments of his own composition or tied blood vessels. 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 (1771-c1806) Explorer of Niger River. 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
