THE HISTORY OF THE YORUBAS

Author: Rev. Samuel Johnson

Genre: General / History

Published: 1960

Description:
What led to this production was not a burning desire of the author to appear in print—as all who are well acquainted with him will
readily admit—but a purely patriotic motive, that the history of our fatherland might not be lost in oblivion, especially as our old
sires are fast dying out. Educated natives of Yoruba are well acquainted with the history of England and with that of Rome and Greece, but of the history of their own country, they know nothing whatever! This reproach is one of the author's objects to remove.
