Publisher's Synopsis

""Five Years With The Congo Cannibals"" is a riveting memoir written by Herbert Ward, an English artist and explorer who spent five years living among the indigenous tribes of the Congo region in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of Ward's experiences living in the Congo, including his interactions with the various tribes and his observations on their customs and traditions. Throughout the book, Ward describes his encounters with the cannibalistic practices of some of the tribes he lived among, providing a unique and often shocking insight into a little-known aspect of African culture. However, the book is not solely focused on cannibalism, and Ward also discusses the natural beauty of the Congo region, its wildlife, and the challenges he faced while living there.The book is written in a vivid and engaging style, with Ward's passion for exploration and adventure shining through in every chapter. It provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of African history and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Congo region.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
