Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Land of the Pepper Bird: Liberia' is an evocative and insightful exploration of Liberia during the early 20th century. Written by Sidney De la Rue, who served as a financial official in the country, this work offers a rare first-hand perspective on the social, political, and cultural l…andscape of Africa's oldest republic.

From the bustling coastal towns to the dense inland forests, the book provides a detailed look at the flora, fauna, and diverse tribal customs that define the region. This work remains a significant historical document for readers interested in West African history, the connections between the United States and Liberia, and the evolution of West African society during the 1920s.
