Book Overview

Lost Among White Africans: A Boy�������s Adventures On The Upper Congo is a book written by David Ker and first published in 1909. The book is a memoir of the author's experiences as a young boy living among the white settlers in the Upper Congo region of Africa during the late 19th century. Ker's father was a missionary in the region, and Ker himself spent much of his childhood among the local tribes and European settlers. The book is a vivid account of his adventures, including his encounters with native tribes, his education at a mission school, and his experiences hunting and exploring the wilderness. The book also provides an interesting perspective on colonialism and the impact of European influence on the African continent. Ker's observations on the attitudes and actions of the white settlers towards the native people are both insightful and thought-provoking. Overall, Lost Among White Africans is a fascinating and engaging read that offers a unique glimpse into the life of a young boy growing up in colonial Africa.
