An American missionary describes his voyage to the West African coast and long years of bush travel: river journeys, camp-fire talk, the perils of the forest and the making of a home in the interior. He writes of the customs, humour and beliefs of the people he lived among, and angrily exposes the Portuguese contract-labour system that he regarded as slavery under another name.
