Kutna Kinteh Island (James Island), "Roots", The Gambia - Beach Sand Sample 2oz

Description

Kunta Kinteh Island
(formerly called
James Island
and
St Andrew's Island)
This island is in the Gambia River near Juffureh in the Republic of Gambia
Juffureh
is situated on the coast of the River Gambia in the Upper Niumi District, and the ancient little village has become famous as the birthplace of Kunta Kinteh (T
he television release of the bestselling book, "Roots", written by the African-American author Alex Haley, a descendant of Kunta Kinteh.)
This village was about 500 meters away from sister village Albreda, which houses the Slave Museum, while Kunta Kinteh Island (or James Island) lies less than two miles away on the river.
I visited this island in April 2018.
I collect rocks/sand from all around the world.  In fact, I have about 4000 containers of rocks/sand.
I've been collecting for 50 years.
Obviously there is a lot of history in this island.
Since I couldn't physically go down to the shore, my tour guide was kind enough to get the sand for me.
This sample is about 2 oz of shoreline sand.  Hard to find!
I have included photos of the area.  The small boat that took us to the island, and additional sites.
Some photos are very closeup photos so the sand grains might look much larger than you'll see in the bag you'll be receiving.
Please check all photos!
