About the author

W. Holman (William Holman) Bentley

1855–1905

A Baptist missionary and prolific writer, he spent years in the Congo and turned that experience into vivid books on language, travel, and daily life. His work is especially remembered for careful studies of Kikongo and for firsthand accounts of Central Africa in the late 19th century.
