Extract

There are a number of accounts of the strange world of Africa as seen by adventurers, explorers, missionaries, soldiers, and traders in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. By piecing together their accounts we can get quite a good picture of the African lands and peoples which they visited. There was only one, however, who attempted to put down a connected history of what took place in Angola during the first century of its history, i.e. beginning with the founding of Luanda in 1576.
