My Personal Experiences in Equatorial Africa

Surgeon-General Thomas Heazle Parke (1857-1893) was an Irish doctor, explorer, soldier and naturalist. Parke campaigned with Henry Morton Stanley on the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition. This expedition lasted three years and many were saved from death by Parke's courage and medical skills. Well illustrated. Large folding map in rear pocket. Original olive cloth with gilt vignette on upper board and gilt spine titles. Original green endpapers starting. First U.S. edition printed from the British sheets (Sampson, Low). Some pages uncut -- an unread copy! A thick, heavy book that will incur additional international postage.
