Krátký popis

First published in 1818, this work comprises memoirs by Captain James Tuckey (1776-1816) and botanist Christen Smith (1785-1818), of their doomed expedition to Africa in 1816. They and their crew died from disease and attack, but their narratives aroused Western interest in Africa, encouraging further research.
