| Meer info | "extending across the Great Desert to the Tenth Degree of Northern Latitude, and from Kouka in Bornou, to Sackatoo, the Capital of the Felatah Empire" The authors crossed the Sahara from Tripoli and reached Lake Chad in 1823. Denham discovered River Benue. Oudney died in January 1824. At Sokoto, Clapperton learnt that River Niger's outlet was in the Gulf of Guinea. “Published in 1826, the Narrative of travels and other discoveries (...) co-authored with Clapperton and Oudney, provided a wealth of new material on the African interior but so belittled Clapperton's contribution that it almost reads as though Denham was travelling alone." Howgego D18. |
