Abstract
Brasseur’s last two letters describe the arrival of the resupply caravan led by Verdick and Delvaux in October 1897 and the subsequent large-scale expedition against Kiwala, on the upper Luapula River. Brasseur, who underestimated Kiwala’s strength, was hit by a gunshot at the outset of the siege, on the morning of 8 November, and died of his wound after an agony of approximately forty-eight hours. In the last entry in his travelogue – dating to 9 November – Brasseur bids farewell to his siblings and his Afro-European son, Léon.
