There were also many important discoveries at this time, paramount among them the discovery that people will pay $5 for a silhouette that looks like every person who has ever lived and that people will stop for just about anything billed as "entertainment" as long as the performers wear colored vests and bowlers and talk like Robert Preston in The Music Man . When this so-called "Turn of the Century" was over, many people looked toward the future, which looked a lot like a medieval castle redecorated by Jayne Mansfield. This frightened some people, who said, "Let’s have another ‘Turn of the Century.’" And so they did. —Steve Lowery CHAPTER 2: THE EUROPE WE LEFT —Steve Lowery CHAPTER 3: COLONIAL AMERICA Emboldened by this, they began to explore the Mighty Mississippi, which, it turned out, was pretty much a pussy. "What’d you say?" the early explorers asked the river. "Nothing," it said. "That’s right," they said. "Now go make us a sandwich." And so it did. It turned out you could get across the Mighty Mississippi on a simple raft equipped only with some rope, a pair of Vans sneakers and a high-powered diesel engine. They soon discovered new lands, but disappointment lay ahead. Once in these new lands, they were set upon by fat guys who told them, "Hey, hey, no running!" And, worse, they discovered that the fort no longer sold oversized pickles. This was a devastating blow. But then, in one of those magical moments in this New and Magical Land, the settlers looked across the river and saw the Native Americans waving at them. This gave the settlers a new resolve as they crossed back over the river and set fire to the Native American villages.

[5.2] Appendix 2: personalities The information supplied here is basic and designed to serve as a very brief guide to the enormous array of personalities referred to in the correspondence and the notes. I have used a variety of sources, principally the Dictionary of National Biography, Webster's Biographical Dictionary (Springfield, Massachusetts 1933), Samuel Maunder's Biographical Treasury (6th edition, London 1847), de Beer's edition of Evelyn's diary and the Latham and Matthews edition of Pepys's diary. The list is not exhaustive because some individuals defied reasonable attempts to identify them, caused in part no doubt by varied spellings and form. Space has also prevented the inclusion of classical personalities who are generally easily identifiable from almost any classical dictionary. I have, however, retained ancient literary figures. Each name is accompanied by an abbreviated indication of the letters in which their names occur; thus (01Jan00) indicates the letter of 1 January 1700. ABBOT, George (1562_1633).

Exploring Africa Island 5: Central and East Africa, and the Legacy of Exploration David Livingstone, 1813-1873 Missionary travels and researches in South Africa; including a sketch of sixteen years' residence in the interior of Africa, and a journey from the Cape of Good Hope to Loanda, on the west coast; thence across the continent, down the river Zambesi, to the eastern ocean. . . . With portrait; maps by Arrowsmith; and numerous illustrations London: John Murray, 1857. Heraldic bookplate of William Edwards. The most famous of the Victorian African explorers, David Livingstone, a shopkeeper's son from Blantyre, Scotland, had qualified in medicine from Glasgow University and sailed for southern Africa with the London Missionary Society in 1840. Over the next years, he steadily pushed his base northward into central Africa, until in 1851 he reached the Zambesi. Sending his wife and family home, he set out on an extraordinary series of travels through what was still Arab slave-trading territory, until he eventually marched his porters down the Zambesi valley towards the east coast, and in 1855 discovered the Falls of Shongwe, illustrated here; these he admiringly described as seeming to "exceed in size the falls of the Clyde at Stonebyres," and renamed in honor of the British queen.

The Life and Times of Sir Richard Francis Burton Books on Burton Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton: A Biography Edward Rice "This masterpiece of history and biography turns the real-life adventures of Burton into a riveting tale." Wall Street Journal "Full of action and intrigue....Any novelist who invented a character like Burton would be accused of piling the impossible on the improbable, yet the man really lived." The Atlantic "A masterpiece. Rice gives us the definitive work on Burton, a book so full of fascinating historical scholarship and yet so exotic and exciting that I read late into the night and started again at dawn." Jonathan Kirsch, Los Angeles Times "Engrossing. Explorer, swordsman, linguist, scholar, writer, lover of women and pursuer of hidden knowledge, Burton was par excellence the Victorian version of the Renaissance man. Rice delivers a book worthy of Burton's fierce spirit and protean accomplishments." Publisher's Weekly "A welcome biography of a man who refuses to be forgotten." Chicago Tribune For a biographical sketch of Edward Rice, see

Glossary of Exploration Terms Explorers of Africa More information on Africa ALBUQUERQUE, AFONSO DE Afonso de Albuquerque (14-1515) was a Portuguese soldier and explorer who sailed to the Spice Islands (the Moluccas, a group of Islands in Indonesia) in 1507-1511, trying to monopolize trade with this area; from Europe, he sailed around Africa to the Indian Ocean. He was appointed the Viceroy of India by King Emmanuel in 1509. He forcibly destroyed the Indian city of Calicut in January, 1510, and took Goa (in southern India) in March, 1510, claiming Goa for Portugal. BATTUTA, ABU ABDULLAH IBN Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta [also spelled Buttuta] (1303-1365), was a Moroccan explorer who traveled through Africa, the Middle East, and parts of the Far East. A Muslim, he set off on a Hajj (a pilgrimage to the holy town of Mecca) from Tangier, Africa, in 1325 and traveled for almost three decades, covering over 75,000 miles (120,700 km) by boat and over land. He did sail his own boat, but was a passenger on many trading boats. In India, Buttuta was appointed a Magistrate of Delhi (1334-1341). He also traveled to China, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, and much of Africa. Buttuta later recorded his adventures in a popular book, "Travels (Rihala) of Ibn Battuta." He died in Fez, Morocco, in 1365.

The Narrative of Robert Adams, a Sailor, who was wrecked on the Western Coast of Africa, in the Year 1810, was detained in Slavery by the Arabs of the Great Desert, and resided several Months in the City of Tombuctoo. John Murray 4to. Contemporary calf, recently neatly rebacked with new spine in six compartments with raised bands, lettered in gilt; pp. xxxix + 231; large folding map frontispiece; slight rubbing to corners, offsetting to map, occasional spotting, candle-wax marks to pp. xxxviii-xxxix, book-plate of Edward Herbert Viscount Clive to pastedown, a very good copy. First edition. 'Robert Adams', the pseudonym of Benjamin Rose, in 1810 departed New York on the brig Charles . Shipwrecked on the northwest coast of Africa, he was subsequently enslaved along with colleagues by Arabs. It has been long doubted whether Adams - in spite of his knowledge of Morocco and the Western Sahara, of the Arabs and their language, and of other matters of local detail - ever reached the much-rumoured Timbuktu. However, the strong likelihood is that he instead gleaned information concerning the city from the Arabs and other locals. His work therefore contains the most up-to-date information concerning the Timbuktu at that time. Playfair Bibliography of Morocco 511; Gay 1518.
