''My Apingi Kingdom'' is a memoir written by Paul Du Chaillu, an explorer and naturalist who traveled extensively throughout Africa in the mid-19th century. The book is divided into two parts: the first part describes Du Chaillu’s experiences living among the Apingi people in what is now Gabon, including their customs, rituals, and daily life. The second part details his adventures in the Sahara Desert, where he hunted ostriches, hyenas, and other game. Throughout the book, Du Chaillu provides detailed observations of the flora and fauna he encounters, as well as insights into the cultures and societies of the people he meets. He also describes the challenges and dangers he faced during his travels, including encounters with wild animals, hostile tribes, and difficult terrain. ''My Apingi Kingdom'' is a fascinating account of one man’s journey through Africa, and provides a valuable glimpse into a world that has since been lost to history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
