This electronic edition of Edith A. How's People of Africa was produced by John Walker in January 2003. It follows the 1921 edition (the only one of which I am aware) published in London by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and in New York by the Macmillan Company. I have corrected two typographical errors in the original text: sandstorm was misspelled as standstorm on page 21 (section 1 of chapter III), and bought appeared where brought was intended on page 33 (paragraph 3 of section 2 of chapter IV).

This Etext is encoded in a form which permits it to be both read directly (Plain Vanilla) and typeset in a form virtually indistinguishable from printed editions of the work.
To create typographically friendly Etexts, I adhere to the following rules:
