Book Overview
The Strange Adventures of Andrew Battell of Leigh in Angola and the Adjoining Regions is a historical account of the life of Andrew Battell, an English sailor who was captured by the Portuguese and spent over a decade living among the indigenous peoples of Angola in the late 16th century. The book, written by Battell himself and first published in 1901, provides a unique firsthand account of the customs, beliefs, and ways of life of the African tribes he encountered during his captivity. Battell's experiences include encounters with cannibalistic tribes, battles with Portuguese forces, and his eventual escape and return to England. The book is a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in the history of Africa, colonialism, and the early interactions between Europe and Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
