Produced by Annie R. McGuire
"The Boy Travellers on the Congo" by Thomas W. Knox is a historical account written in the late 19th century. It tells the adventures of two youths, Frank and Fred, as they journey alongside the famous explorer Henry M. Stanley through Africa, exploring the vast and largely uncharted regions of the continent. The narrative is informative and engaging, aiming to present both the spirit of adventure and the scientific endeavors involved in exploring the Congo. At the start of the narrative, the story follows Stanley as he embarks on a voyage aboard the steamer Eider from New York, where he meets Doctor Bronson and his nephews, Frank and Fred. The boys express admiration for Stanley's previous explorations and hope to follow in his footsteps by crossing Africa. Upon reaching Zanzibar, preparations for an expedition are made, involving the selection of porters, the purchasing of supplies, and discussions about the challenges ahead. Throughout this opening segment, readers get a glimpse of the excitement and anticipation building as the characters prepare for an incredible journey into the heart of Africa, setting the stage for their thrilling adventures.
