Tuareg - 1810s description by G. F. Lyon

 Salvete Omnes,



in the past I mentioned the Tuareg people of the Sahara/Sahel - Western and North Africa.

I am reading the a book by George Francis Lyon  (1796-1832) about his travels, 1818-1820,in African Sahel. 







Lyon left a description of the Tuareg, the nomads of the Sahel, who like the Tatars in the eastern Europe prior to their conquest by the Russians, were slavers and lived of  long distance trade across vastness of Sahara etc. 









while Project Gutenberg has a book - People of the Veil - to download and peruse - on the history and anthropology of the Tuareg of the Airs.
