Jamie Bruce Lockhart has edited three volumes of Hugh Clapperton's travel diaries and lectured on the historical background to Clapperton's African travels. He first become interested in the sailor turned explorer while working in Nigeria and has published several articles about Clapperton's life. He has worked in banking, as a government economist and as a member of the British diplomatic service throughout the world and now lives in Suffolk.
'Clapperton's personality as well as his achievements come through with remarkable force. It will be a great adornment to the Tauris list as well as a solid contribution to our knowledge of African exploration and the Royal Navy - the opening chapters in particular are compelling.' Wm Roger Louis, Kerr Professor at the University of Texas at Austin
