Reader Reviews
In 1989 I took a zeroxed copy of this book, (as it has been unavailable for years) written by my great great (etc) Uncle, J.L.Krapf, to East Africa with me as my primary guide book. I rented a Land Rover in Nairobi and followed his routes and discoveries. From Mount Kenya to Mombassa I retraced this early missionary's journeys, one hundred years after his death. I had far better transportation. J.L.Kraft, survived the fevers that killed off his contemporaries, translated the Bible into Swahili, pioneered east to west routes across Africa, and fought against the Slave Trade. Before Stanley and Livingston there was J.L. Krapf. The book relates his humble view of his acomplishments, as one of the first explorers of Africa.
