In 1890 he published the results of his work in German in two-volumes, entitled Reisebilder aus Liberia (Travel Sketches from Liberia). Büttikofer worked extensively in the forested regions of coastal Liberia and made the acquaintance of many prominent Liberians and other personalities of that era. His zoological work there is actually exceeded by his detailed descriptions of the state of Liberia some 50 years following its colonization by freed American slaves and their descendants. It constitutes the first comprehensive monograph on the Republic of Liberia. 410 0$aSources for African History$v5. 606 $aNatural history$zLiberia 607 $aLiberia$xDescription and travel 615 0$aNatural history 676 $a916.662 700 $aBu?ttikofer$b Johann$f1850-1928.$0431605 701 $aDop$b Henk$f1982-$01817984 701 $aRobinson$b Phillip T$01083349 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974399303321 996 $aTravel sketches from Liberia$94376867 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00706nam 2200217zu 450 001 9911039327403321 005 20251107023419.0 010 $a9789819531783 035 $a(CKB)42017704800041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9942017704800041 100 $a20251107|2025uuuu || | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 200 10$aBig Earth Data in Support of the Sustainable Development Goals (2023) ?
