	Mungo Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mungo Park (September 10, 1771 – 1806) was a Scottish explorer of the African continent.
		Park in 1794 offered his services to the African Association, then looking out for a successor to Major Daniel Houghton, who had been sent out in 1790 to discover the course of the Niger and had died in the Sahara.
		Park, who chafed at the hardness and monotony of life at Peebles, accepted the offer, but the expedition was delayed.

		Park in 1794 offered his services to the African Association, then looking out for a successor to Major Daniel Houghton, who had been sent out in 1790 to discover the course of the Niger and had perished in the Sahara.
		Park, who chafed at the hardness and monotony of life at Peebles, accepted the offer, but the starting of the expedition was delayed.

	Mungo Park
		Park, however, was not a man to be depressed by evil auguries, and he accordingly pushed on to Medina, the capital of Woolli, where the king, a benevolent old man, received him with much kindness, and furnished him with a trusty guide to the frontiers of his dominions.
		Park’s health at length gave way under the accumulated horrors of his situation, and he was seized with a fever and delirium, which brought him to the brink of the grave.
		Park’s chance of reaching the Niger in safety depended mainly upon his doing so previously to the commencement of the rainy season, which is always most fatal to Europeans; but scarcely had they got half way when the rain set in, and the effect on the health of the men was as speedy as disastrous.
