	DU CHAILLU - LoveToKnow Article on DU CHAILLU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The first work excited much controversy on the score of its veracity, but subsequent investigation proved the correctness of du Chaillus statements as to the facts of natural history; though possibly some of the adventures he described as happening to himself were reproductions of the hunting stories of natives (see Proc.
		The map accompanying Ashango-land was of unique value, but the explorers photographs and collections were lost when he was forced to flee from the hostility of the natives.
		After some years residence in America, during which he wrote several books for the young founded upon his African adventures, du Chaillu turned his attention to northern Europe, and published in 1881 The Land of the Midnight Sun, in 188cr The Viking Age, and in 1900 The Land of the Long Night.

		Little is known of Du Chaillu's ancestors, except that they were of one of the old French Huguenot families that had settled in Louisiana.
		In 1863-`65 Du Chaillu made a second journey of exploration to Africa, the narrative of which appeared in 1867 as “A Journey through Ashango Land.” This time he discovered the pygmies of the Dark Forest, but his descriptions of the little people were likewise received with incredulity.
		In a certain sense Du Chaillu is himself responsible for this feeling, for all his descriptions are so vivid and are so thrillingly told that the reader feels he is reading a work of pure invention, rather than a narrative of actual experience.

		Du Chaillu, notwithstanding his vindication, determined to prosecute his expedition, for which he had made thorough preparation, He freighted a schooner with goods for presents to the natives, and sailed from England in August 1863.

		Du Chaillu's first travels to Equatorial Africa were to an area previously unexplored by Europeans--the wooded region bordering the Equator, in the interior of Western Africa.
		His further studies into the habits of the gorilla of Western Equatorial Africa was of remarkable benefit to scholars and scientists laying a groundwork for the ongoing study of this animal and Du Chaillu was further able to obtain and study live specimens because of his relationships with the indigenous peoples of the region.
		Du Chaillu considered that these peoples were inhabitants of the least developed area of Africa and that a study of them was of immeasurable worth to the developed world.

	Modern History Sourcebook: Paul du Chaillu: Travels in Africa, 1868-1870
		[Tappan Introduction] DU CHAILLU had an exceedingly good preparation for his work as an African explorer, for he spent his youth on the West Coast of Africa, where his father was trader and consul.
		He was probably the first white man who ever saw gorillas, and his reports of the behavior of these animals, and of the tribes of pygmies that he had met,---indeed, of the extent of his explorations in general,---were bitterly attacked.
		Du Chaillu had used only a compass, and so could not prove his records of travel, but he now set to work to learn how to use a camera and various kinds of astronomical instruments.

		It is intended to supplement both recent studies on concepts of race in the second half of the nineteenth century and recent theories on the body.
		The talk will focus primarily on the works of Paul Belloni Du Chaillu, who first brought pygmies to the attention of Americans and Europeans in 1867 with the publication of A Journey to Ashango-Land and Further Penetration into Equatorial Africa.
		The essay will argue that Du Chaillu and later travelers used depictions of pygmies to bolster myths about the competition of races, the inevitable extinction of inferior races, and the origins of humanity.

	Gene Expression: How many apes?
		In commenting on the report that a new species of ape may have been discovered in the Congo, I mentioned that the 19th century explorer Paul Du Chaillu claimed to have identified three different types of ape in Africa.
		Du Chaillu describes it at length and gives illustrations.
		He got a reputation for unreliability - not to say fantasy - in some of his writing, but at least some of his claims that were ridiculed at the time - such as the gorilla drumming on its chest before attacking - have been vindicated by subsequent observers.

		Description: Author: DU CHAILLU, Paul B. Title: Explorations & Adventures in Equatorial Africa; With Accounts of the Manners and Customs of the People, and of the Chace of the Gorilla, Crocodile, Leopard, Elephant, Hippopotamus, and Other Animals.
		Notes: After being scorned for imagining and exaggerating in the account of his first exploration, Du Chaillu learned how to properly and scientifically document his observations.
		Armed with this knowledge, he travelled to Africa again, made initial European contact with some tribes, confirmed the existence of Pygmies, and brought back the first ever seen gorillas to the United States.

		The book caused some excitement, particularly due to the eyewitness accounts of gorillas, which had hitherto been known to scientists only through their skeletons; it also caused some doubts as to its truthfulness.
		Thus du Chaillu was the focus of much public attention at this time, and was described by James Hunt in his article "Savage Africa" as "that brave traveller and explorer who was made by his injudicious friends, for their glory, the lion of the season for 1861."(1)
		The gorilla, smiling somewhat ambiguously and adjusting his white tie, here represents three currents of thought in 1861.
