Tippu Tib The Slaver King Of Central Africa

A Harper's Magazine noted narrative traces Tippu Tib the 19th century slaver who rose from debt in Zanzibar to a vast ivory and slave empire. He forged a royal persona in Mtotila, used lavish gifts to coerce obedience, ransacked regions for ivory, and expanded his influence along the Lualaba, facing Abed-bin-Salem’s agents as rival plunder intensified.

Rice in Carolina Origin of its Cultivation by Accident

The spread of rice in South Carolina began almost by accident when Thomas Landgrave Smith kept a small Madagascar rice in Charleston in 1694 then planted it in a moist garden spot. The crop grew well, leading to seed distribution among neighbors and eventual shift from high land beds to tide-lands rich in irrigation, abandoning inland plantations as swamp clearings expanded rice farming.

Named places near Cape Horn reveal Dutch roots

Near Cape Horn, Staten island has its double at the southern extremity of South America. The name, like that of the New York island, is manifestly of Dutch origin. Its near neighbor is Cape Horn, more properly Hoorn, named for a village on the Zuyder Zee. Not far away are the straits of Magellan, not of Irish but of Dutch discovery, and properly spelled Magalhaens.
