Following Stories of the Gorilla Country, Paul Du Chaillu writes again for “dear young folks” about his years in equatorial West Africa. He tells of parrot islands, a leopard among the chickens, elephant and buffalo hunts, an African royal court, hippopotamus hunting and encounters with great gorillas. His attitudes to the African people he lived among are those of the 1860s.
