About This Book
A travel account of journeys across Southern and Northern Nigeria that traces movement from the coast inland by rail and river, and through towns and countryside. It documents urban and rural scenes including administrative centres, market life, local industries, housing and transport infrastructure. The narrative records interactions with colonial officials, native rulers and everyday communities, and explains systems of native administration, taxation and law. Interwoven are reflections on railway expansion, commercial opportunity, missionary and military activity, and cautionary observations about cultural change and public health.
