About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from The African Repository, or Colonial Journal, Vol. 8: March, 1832 Next follows Goree, in latitude 14 N., built on an island with in the great promontory of Cape Verde. It is thing more than a barren rock, but is rendered important by its situation. It also, as well as the former belongs to the French. To this succeed the settlements on the river Gambier, which belong both to the French and English. The first, near the mouth of the river, is Bathurst, built by the English on the low sandy island of St. Mary, having behind it a marsh almost always dry at low water; and, although the tides ow over and cover it, it is highly offensive and insalubrious. The town is particularly unhealthy, and subject, during the rainy season, to the worst description of fever. Those whom duty or speculation induce to reside there are the victims of ill health; while all who can leave it go to reside, during that period, to the Cape de Verde Islands or Goree. Here the ground is comparatively high, capa ble of cultivation, and surrounded by a pretty country; but the swamps of the other shore were preferred, because there was depth of water for shipping quite close to the town.
