A history of the colonization of Africa by alien races

Reading edition

Transcriber’s Note:

Footnotes have been collected at the end of each chapter, and are linked for ease of reference.

The various maps of Africa employ a color coding to denote political and racial areas. They have been yellowed by age, and have been brightened here to allow for better legibility, but are probably a poor approximation of their original appearance. They rely on a blending of tints to show where racial mixing occurred. The reader’s indulgence is requested. Each map serves as a link to a larger map that may be viewed in greater detail.

The maps have been moved to fall on the nearest paragraph break.

Errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any issues encountered during its preparation.

New original cover art included with this eBook is granted to the public domain.
