The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- After an exploration of the upper Niger River around 1796, he wrote a popular and influential travel book titled Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa in which he theorised the Niger and Congo merged to become the same river, though it was later proven that they are different rivers.
- He was killed during a second expedition, having successfully travelled about two-thirds of the way down the Niger.
- If the African Association was the "beginning of the age of African exploration" by Europeans, then Mungo Park was its first successful explorer, he set a standard for all who followed.
