Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-25 00:00:00 Brian Stokes One of the most compelling books I ever read. This should be required reading for a wide range of high school and college history courses. It clearly shows the depravity of the African slave trade as late as the 1870’s (well after the end of the War Between the States) and describes in their own words the lengths to which a determined group of English went to stop the abuses. Highly recommended.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-24 00:00:00 Stuart Brown Interesting if a little unsatisfying I like true life adventure stories and historical accounts but I had a little trouble with this one. Maybe I'm just not into the great white hunter stories, much of the early parts of this book were dedicated to hunting various animals, but the latter part of the book picked up steam. Baker's dealing with the natives and the eventual reaching of his goal paints Baker as a likable and good man who was also a clever and shrewd adventurer.
