#OTD Theodore Vogel, #German #Botanist got #Sick.
On the #Niger #Expedition, he shared #Hardships in his #Jounal.
"After endless #Labor, [I have] ill-conditioned #Plants. I have
#Sacrificed every convenience to gain room, & overcome #Dampness of the #Ship...but
w/o #Success."
The #Mineralogist Charles Roscher tended to Ted for 13 days. On Dec 17th, Ted asked if they were set for their trip & then peacefully passed away.
