Raphael travels up from the West African coast by the new railway to Zungeru, the capital of the Northern Nigeria Protectorate, then on to the ancient walled city of Kano. He describes fashions, government and administration, markets, river crossings and the daily routine of a caravan, from the viewpoint of a British traveller of the 1910s.
