By James Kingston Tuckey

"Narrative Of An Expedition To Explore The River Zaire, Usually Called The Congo..." recounts Captain James Kingston Tuckey's ill-fated 1816 expedition to chart the course of the Congo River. This historical account details the challenges faced by the British naval expedition as they navigated the treacherous waters and encountered the indigenous populations of the region.

Tuckey's narrative provides valuable insights into the geographical and cultural landscape of early 19th-century Africa. Despite the expedition's tragic outcome, marked by significant loss of life including Tuckey himself, the detailed observations and records offer an important perspective on the European exploration of the African continent and the early interactions between Europeans and the people of the Congo.
