"Denham and Clapperton, in the company of Dr. Walter Oudney, traveled from near Tripoli, south to Lake Tchad, with excursions into the mountains west of Mourzuk in Fezzan. Dixon attempted to follow the circuit around Lake Tchad but was unsuccessful. Capt. Clapperton and Dr. Oudney journeyed west toward the Niger River, but the doctor only made it about a third of the way and died in Murmur. Capt.Clapperton continued west, but was prevented from passing beyond Sackatoo by the local Sultan. Denham and Clapperton eventually returned to Tripoli and went back to England. This book is based upon Denham's journal, with a chapter by Dr. Oudney on the excursion to the mountains west of Mourzuk. The last part by Clapperton, reports on his westward journey which includes an account of Oudney's death". Shipped and insured [courier liability] with UPS Express. N.B.
