African Explorer Cherry Returns With Iron Will and Discoveries
The Congo voyages of American adventurer Demba Creecy Cherry revealed three new native tribes the Breea Engazzia and Lindas, plus two smaller elephant species. He traversed over 20,000 miles, slept in clothes for years, and gathered anthropological data while living with Africans. He was briefly detained by French authorities at Brazzaville over firearms. He notes widespread cannibalism among tribes and claims French, Belgian, German, and English colonies all commit similar atrocities for control.
