Galo Flordelis (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "A Voyage to Senegal; or, Historical, Philosophical, and Political Memoirs, Relative to the Discoveries, Establishments, and Commerce of Europeans in the Atlantic Ocean" by J. P. L. Durand is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work explores the history of European interactions and commerce in the region of western Africa, focusing on Senegal and adjoining territories. The book presents a blend of exploration narrative and scholarly observation, particularly illuminating the complexities of colonial endeavors, trade, and indigenous societies. The opening of the memoir sets the tone for Durand’s exploration of European maritime history and the socioeconomic dynamics of western Africa. He discusses the risks faced by navigators in these waters, citing examples of shipwrecks and the brutal treatment of shipwrecked sailors by the indigenous Moors. A particularly poignant account is given of M. de Brisson, a shipwreck survivor captured by Moors, detailing his harrowing journey through captivity in the desert and his eventual liberation. The text serves to highlight not only the perils of early exploration but also the entangled fates of European intruders and African inhabitants, providing a comprehensive backdrop for the ensuing narratives of trade and cultural exchange.
