Summary "Travels in Western Africa in 1845 & 1846, Volume 1 (of 2)" by John Duncan is a travelogue written in the mid-19th century. The work recounts a significant journey through Western Africa, detailing Duncan's experiences and observations in various regions such as the Kingdom of Dahomey and the towns along the coast. This narrative, rich with personal insights and anthropological observations, serves as a historical account of the landscape, cultures, and peoples of the area during that time. At the start of the book, Duncan introduces himself and provides context for his travels, reflecting on his military background and the motivation that led him to explore uncharted territories in Africa. He recounts his journey, beginning with his departure from England and his subsequent experiences in places like Tangiers and Bathurst. The reader learns about the markets, local inhabitants, and the unique customs and challenges faced by both the travelers and local communities. Duncan's narrative paints a vivid picture of his encounters with local cultures, the hospitality he received, and the various hardships, such as illness, that he endured during his journey, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of West African societies.
