"The White Mans Graveyard"

If I could go back to any time in history it would be early Victorian times to partake in some African exploration!. What an amazing, determined group of people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One nickname for Africa has long been "The Dark Continent," but I don't think that's related to the number of deaths during the exploration years!. It has more to do with the impenetrability of the jungle-y-er parts of the place, I believe!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
