Description
Gorillas and Chimpanzees, by Garner, reports ape study in the African jungle. Osgood, McIlvaine issued it at London in 1896 with many plates inside. Garner lived caged in the jungle to watch apes at close range. Man and ape compared opens the book in sober scientific tone at first.
Chapters treat chimpanzee speech, habits, and mind in long close detail throughout. Moses, a captured chimpanzee, gets two chapters for his life and death. Aaron and Elisheba follow, with their deaths told in full as well. Gorilla habits and Othello and other gorillas fill the later part. Care of apes in captivity closes this early primate study.
