For two millennia only the central section of the River Niger was known to Europeans, through the trade route to Timbuktu; the rest of its course remained a mystery. This account tells how the Scottish explorer Mungo Park established its direction of flow in 1796 but died attempting to discover its destination a decade later, and traces the efforts of his successors in locating its delta in what is now Nigeria.
