"...the vast unexplored region before us will [not] yield its secrets to a single traveller, but rather [...] they will become known step by step through various successive discoveries."
-Sir Francis Galton, The Narrative of an Explorer in Tropical South Africa
In The Narrative of an Explorer in Tropical South Africa (1883), Sir Francis Galton describes an expedition he led to Southwest Africa in the 1850s. This expedition was a watershed event in the author's life. Because Galton was among the first to explore this South African territory, the effort earned him a Gold Medal from the Royal Geographical Society and launched his career as a scientist. This publication is a color replica of the original 1883 edition.
