The work not only documents the geography and people he encounters but also explores the customs, markets, and political intricacies of the areas visited. At the start of this volume, Duncan embarks on his expedition through the Zafidah Mountains, where he receives a warm welcome from local leaders called Caboceers. His opening experiences detail interactions with these leaders and their communities, marked by hospitality and exchange of gifts. The narrative vividly depicts the landscapes, agricultural practices, and the local livelihoods, highlighting features such as bustling markets rich with provisions and the sociopolitical dynamics of the Dahoman society, including the impacts of war and history on the societies he engages with.
