25. African Slave System (3) mungo park was a Scottish explorer who went to Africa to findthe source of the River Niger. He wrote about his experiences http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USASafrica.htm

African Slave System To receive your free copy every week enter your email address below. FREE Education Newsletters - choose below... Education on the Internet Teaching History Online Email: Let keep Ahead .com bring you the world by email Spartacus USA History British History Second World War ... Email At the end of the 14th century Europeans started to take people from Africa against their will. Initially they were mainly used as servants for the rich. The Europeans justified the taking of slaves by arguing that they were providing an opportunity for Africans to bec ome Christians. By the 17th century the removal of slaves from Africa became a holy cause that had the full support of the Christian Church. When Spanish and Portuguese sea-captains began to explore the Americas they took their African servants with them. Some of these Africans proved to be excellent explorers. The most important of these was Estevanico, who led the first European expedition to New Mexico and Arizona.

Main News Excerpts Reviews ... Links Water Music is my first novel. It was published by Atlantic-Little, Brown in 1981 (though it actually appeared in early January, 1982), and was subsequently published by Penguin in soft cover, now in its 21st edition. This is a wild ride of a book, the one that taught me to follow my imagination, and it consists of 104 chapters, each a story in itself. It was three years in the writing. The back cover of the current Penguin edition has this to say: "Funny, bawdy, full of T.C. Boyle's inimitable flights of imaginative and stylistic fancy, Water Music follows the wild adventures of Ned Rise, thief and whoremaster, and Mungo Park, explorer, through London's seamy gutters and Scotland's scenic highlandsto their grand meeting in the heart of darkest Africa. There they join forces and wend their hilarious way to the source of the Niger." I remember that when the book was half-finished at about 250 pp., both my editor and agent advised me to cut out the Ned Rise story, worrying in concert that the novel was getting out of hand; I assured them that I had a plan and that Ned Rise had to stay. I hope I was right. In any case, I've never looked back.

It was a wealthy settlement that flourished off the caravans and drew water from 150-foot wells. (AM, Mar/Apr 97 p.84) 1100 Timbuktu was founded about this time as a seasonal nomad camp around a well that was maintained by a group of slaves under an old woman, Buktu, "the place of Buktu."

Travelling for Their Lives: The Empire as Refuge in Hesba Stretton’s Brought Home, Bede’s Charity, and Lost Gip Deborah Denenholz Morse The College of William and Mary ddmors@wm.edu The most popular Religious Tract Society novelist of her day, the prolific Hesba Stretton (nee Sarah Smith), often wrote of the desperate wanderings of outcasts in England’s industrial cities. She is most interested in exposing the Empire’s neglect of its most vulnerable citizens at home: children. Often citing parliamentary bluebooks as evidence, Stretton tells the stories of juvenile offenders (In Prison and Out), little girls used as circus performers (An Acrobat’s Girlhood), young factory workers (David Lloyd’s Last Will), the children of drunkards (Her Only Son), child domestic workers (Cassy), and street urchins (Jessica’s First Prayer, Pilgrim Street). Occasionally Stretton focused upon England’s dominions as refuges (or failed refuges) from London or its countryside.

MUNGO PARK PARK, MUNGO (1771-1806?), Scottish explorer of the Niger, was born in Selkirkshire, Scotland, on the 20th of September 1771, at Foulshiels on the Yarrowthe 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 (I 7891791), obtaining the surgical diploma. By his brother-in-law, James Dickson, a botanist of repute, he was introduced to Sir Joseph Banks, then president of the Royal Society, and through his good offices 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. J.
