Africa was being carved up in European cabinet rooms while American schoolchildren learned its rivers. Carpenter's reader teaches the continent through its work and its weather: the Nile, the veldt, the caravans and the mines, in the direct schoolroom voice of a reporter who had walked more of it than most of the men drawing the borders.
