Dealer Notes

First edition. Charles New (1840-1875) was a Methodist minister and missionary, who in August 1871 became the first European to reach the snow line of Mount Kilimanjaro. He was a vocal opponent of the slave trade. New provided geographical insights about eastern Kenya and the region around Mount Kilimanjaro.
