During the Scramble for Africa in the 19th century, there were so many atrocities committed that you will be forgiven if you aren't familiar with The Jameson Affair. In fact, most of the horrific events of those years were never documented. James Sligo Jameson, a naturalist and heir to the Jameson Whiskey fortune, went on an expedition to the Congo in 1887 and died there a year later. The expedition suffered from supply issues and lack of support from the locals because of Jameson's relationship with a slave trader. Jameson was known to have been fascinated with the tales of cannibalism in Africa. After Jameson's death in 1888 in the Congo, excerpts from his diary and accounts from eyewitnesses tell of the day Jameson purchased a 10-year-old girl in order to witness her ritual murder and the consumption of her flesh.
