R. M. Ballantyne, a Scottish author, wrote the boys' adventure book ''The Gorilla Hunters'' in 1861. Ralph, Peterkin, and Jack, the three lads from his wildly popular 1858 novel The Coral Island, are the main characters of this sequel, which is set in "darkest Africa." The themes in the novel echo those of The Coral Island, where the lads attest to the benefits of missionary activity among the locals. A major theme of the book is the hunt for gorillas, an animal that was unknown to Westerners until recently but has since become crucial in discussions about evolution and the interactions between white Westerners and Africans. A slave trader is the focus of the second part of the book's plot, and the three hunters and their guide spend weeks pursuing him to stop him and his crew from occupying and enslaving Mbango's people. They are too late; Makarooroo's fiance is one of those who have been taken. The three plan the fortifications and successfully repel the trader when he attacks Jambai's settlement. The hunters rest for a few weeks in the village of a different tribe, which is governed by a Jambai family member.

John Caldwell Calhoun March 18, 1782 - March 31, 1850) was an American statesman and political theorist from South Carolina, and the seventh Vice President of the United States from 1825 to 1832. He is remembered for strongly defending slavery and for advancing the concept of minority rights in politics, which he did in the context of defending white Southern interests from perceived Northern threats. He began his political career as a nationalist, modernizer, and proponent of a strong national government and protective tariffs. By the late 1820s, his views reversed and he became a leading proponent of states' rights, limited government, nullification, and opposition to high tariffs-he saw Northern acceptance of these policies as the only way to keep the South in the Union. His beliefs and warnings heavily influenced the South's secession from the Union in 1860-1861.
