Schweinfurth’s African Journey and Tribal Portraits
Dr Schweinfurth details a ninety mile ascent along the Gazelle and Welle rivers, encounters with the Shillocks Nueir and Dinka tribes, cannibal Monbutto and Akkas Pygmies, and notes on iron making, religion, and race color tied to soil. He recounts a royal Monbutto dance, the Nubian mercenaries, and the loss of part of his collection in a fire, praising his expansive contributions to Central African fauna, flora, and anthropology.
