About the Book

The author worked and vacationed in Liberia and West Africa from 1962-1964 and 1964 respectively. The author kept a diary for most of his stay. This book reveals the day-to-day life of a Peace Corps volunteer as well as the experiences of students and villagers. The experiences are both diverse and unexpected. Reading these diaries results in a fair perspective on the volunteer’s life and times. Furthermore, it provides many insights into Liberia, Americo-Liberian culture, life up-county, or life in the interior. This book carries the reader from experience to experience. You’ll have a hard time setting it down.
