Mungo Park (1771-1806). Scottish explorer and naturalist. He collaborated with the African Association to explore the River Niger. Mungo Park and the African King in Fatteconda, 1795. Mungo Park arrived at the court of Fatteconda. The king or Almami ordered him to appear before him. Park presented him with a parasol and some trinkets. However, the Almami wanted to keep the jacket with gold buttons that he was wearing as well. The Almami reciprocated by exempting him from paying duties and also giving him some gold, a jug of honey and fish. Mungo Park's caravan was thus able to continue its journey across the country of Kajaaga. Photogravure after an illustration by R. Atkinson. ""La conquista de Africa"" (The conquest of Africa), by Alfredo Opisso. Volume III. Published in Barcelona (Spain) by Molinas y Maza editores, 1911.
