The story of this region is more or less bound up with
that of the great river, for throughout the greater portion
of a thousand years rumours of the fertility and wealth of
the Niger basin led adventurous explorers, first from the
ancient East and then from the young West, onwards into
the wilds of the Sudan. Many races, differing widely in origin,
character, and mode of life, dwell there, and for the clearer
understanding of its aspect and history it may be divided
into three zones.
