Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -'Journal of an African Cruiser' is a detailed account of a voyage along the West Coast of Africa, penned by Horatio Bridge, an officer in the U.S. Navy, and edited by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The narrative is structured as a daily journal, capturing the experiences and observations of Bridge during his time on the African coast. The journey begins with the ship's departure from New York, navigating through the Gulf Stream, and encountering various challenges at sea, including the burial of a crew member. The ship makes several stops, including the Canary Islands, Cape de Verds, and various points along the African coast such as Monrovia and Cape Palmas. Bridge provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, the people he encounters, and the socio-political dynamics of the regions visited. He offers insights into the lives of the Kroomen, the customs of the native tribes, and the operations of European settlements. A significant portion of the journal is dedicated to the colony of Liberia, where Bridge evaluates its condition and prospects with an objective lens, free from partisan bias. He notes the progress and challenges faced by the colony, drawing comparisons with his previous visit three years earlier. The journal also touches on the influence of missionaries, the evolution of the slave trade, and the interactions between the colonists and native populations. Bridge's account is not only a travelogue but also a reflection on the broader implications of colonization and the cultural exchanges occurring on the African coast during the mid-19th century.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 154 pp. Englisch.
