This was a fascinating story of an American trade ship that crashed on the West coast of Africa in 1815. The crew ends up being robbed and enslaved by the locals, which sounds like it was more common than you might think in the nineteenth century. Anyways, the men experience the harshness of life on the desert, constantly shifting to find clean water and shrubs for their owners’ camels.
In addition to torture, the men endure eating raw (and sometimes putrid) meat, drinking their own urine (and also camel urine), every kind of ailment you can think of (concussions, dysentery, hemorrhoids, dehydration, blah blah)...
It’s a true story
