For more than a thousand years, from A.D. 500 to 1700, the medieval kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhay grew rich on the gold, salt, and slave trade that stretched across Africa. Scraping away hundreds of years of ignorance, prejudice, and mythology, award-winnnig authors Patricia and Fredrick McKissack reveal the glory of these forgotten empires while inviting us to share in the inspiring process of historical recovery that is taking place today.

This packet covers the mighty African kingdom of Ghana--rich in culture and tradition--that sprang up along the continent's west coast. Through strength and ingenuity, it overcame tremendous odds in adapting to the often harsh African climate and environment. Special emphasis is given to the rich tradition of African arts in the form of music, dance, and sculpture as well as to the prominence of religion and the importance of the family as principal organizing features of African society.

In 1795, Mungo Park, a young Scot with an optimistic heart, docked on the West African coast. Fending off fever, wild beasts and curious natives Park soldiered on to his prize, the mysterious Niger, proving categorically that the great river flowed to the east. Over 200 years later, Tom Fremantle follows in his hero's wake, blazing his own haphazard trail from the fishing villages of The Gambia to the mangrove swamps of Nigeria. Using a donkey cart and a dugout canoe he dodges hippos, camps with desert Tuareg and treks in the stark beauty of Dogon County.
