Written to a young family friend it is somewhat wistful:“Since my return, I have wished several times I could be in Waterbury to havesome nice fun and to try to be a boy again”. Later, Du Chaillu remembers howfunny it was when “ Your cousin seemed to be frightened of me.

In 1860 du Chaillu broughtto the United States the first gorilla ever seen here. He was the first whiteman to bring back information about pygmies in the remote interior of Africa.His stories were so wild that many disbelieved him but he prevailed when hisdiscoveries were verified. (He was also a member along with a variety of mostlyliterary figures in J. M. Barrie’s amateur cricket team, the “Allahakbarries”).This is a special copy in great condition.
