"Angola and the River Congo, vol. 2" by Joachim John Monteiro is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work provides detailed observations of the region of Angola during the author's travels, focusing on the geographical, sociopolitical, and economic conditions of the area. Monteiro's exploration highlights the interactions between the Portuguese authorities and local tribes, as well as the impact of colonial rule on native societies and ecology. The opening portion of the volume introduces Monteiro's journey from Ambriz to Loanda, where he describes the resistance of the Mossulo tribe to the Portuguese. He recounts specific incidents involving military expeditions, illustrating the tensions between the colonizers and the natives, as well as the poor governance and ineffectiveness of the Portuguese administration in Angola. Monteiro delves into the rich natural environment he encounters, detailing the flora, fauna, and mineral resources, while also laying the groundwork for discussions on slavery, local customs, and the broader implications of colonial exploitation on the region's development.
