Subject: RE: Let's Do Africa-- Map Helps Please
Hardi and I have been on the hop all week (doing funerals). I just got the maps laminated, but have not had a chance to get to the pool to resume the audiobook I'm on.

If anyone is interested, this Public Domain audiobook just was posted as completed, at Librivox, here: http://librivox.org/travels-in-west-africa-by-mary-kingsley/

An excerpt from the narrator's description of the book:


Travels in West Africa
by Mary H. Kingsley

    Mary Henrietta Kingsley (13 October 1862 – 3 June 1900) was an British explorer and writer who greatly influenced European ideas about Africa and its people. Kingsley was an outspoken critic of European colonialism, a champion for indigenous customs, and a dedicated campaigner for a revised British policy which supported traders and merchants over the needs of settlers and missionaries.
