[my 9x-great grandfather Dielman Kolb, Jr. was responsible for it being translated from Dutch into German in 1749 in Pennsylvania); as was my 10th great-grandfather Jacob Hendricks Gottshalk, the second Mennonite Bishop in America (and several other ancestors); my edition will contain an illustrated historical introduction.
These will both be printed in a complementary set:
Thinking Black; 22 Years Without a Break in the Long Grass of Central Africa (1913) [reprinted by Negro Universities Press, NY, in 1969] Daniel Crawford [Daniel "Dan" Crawford (1870 – 1926), also known as 'Konga Vantu', was a Scottish missionary of the Plymouth Brethren in
central-southern Africa], 578pp., pb., 28.00 + P&H. I began reading this to see if it was worthwhile, as someone had told me about it. I find it very interesting, intriguing, enlightening, thought-provoking, entertaining, humorous, profound... to me, the book has a very odd tone of thought; if I can put my finger on it, I believe it seems as if he merely describes things and does not explain them; there is no explaining random chaos, there is only describing it... and that is all he can do with the topic at hand... he was a missionary, but one with honest insight into the blank mind of those primitives he was around... the book seems to begin with no purpose, no explanation, you just awake and find yourself in his safari trekking through the hot and humid bush... with his unique manners of description and humor and blunt insight. In the beginning he mentions the Portuguese he encountered in Mozambique at the first area from which he embarqued and noted how indolent the Portuguese were, and expressed that it was believed that they would not drink coffee for breakfast under the assumption it might keep them up the rest of the day.
Its sequel:
Back to the Long Grass; My Link with Livingstone (1923) Daniel Crawford 460pp., pb., 26.00 + P&H.
Others of similar interest:

[“More from the Primeval Forest” was also once printed as “The Forest Hospital at Lambarene”.] Very fascinating books, give glimpses into the courage and patience of this great man (his poor theology and misguided altruism notwithstanding), as well as glimpses into the minds and natures of those he tried to help. Including extra photos and biographical introduction added.
(I do not print the below, but I stock it, excellent book) The Last Expedition: Stanley’s Mad Journey Through the Congo, Liebowitz; harrowing true story of Henry Morton Stanley’s final trek across Africa to rescue Emin Pasha, lieutenant of martyred General Gordon, governor of southern Sudan. The expedition lasted nearly three years and cost hundreds, perhaps thousands, of lives. Hb. 320pp., 26.00 + P&H; pb. 355pp., 16.00 + P&H incredible story
