Mandingu (pg. 129)
These are tribesmen found within the lower region of Western Afrik, currently ruled by Samori III. They often skirmish with Dakhlan and Senegal. They incorporate captives into their army as an alternative to enslavement, thus solidifying their holdings. These folk trade in gold dust and cattle, and harvest yams, oil palm nuts and plantains for food. They also have many iron foundries and make their weapons of that metal. They utilize cowrie shells as a form of money, 10 shells approximately equaling 1 BUC.
