Peter Strickland (1837-1922) was a shipmaster, merchant, and U.S. consul in the French colony of Senegal. The diaries and letter books of Peter Strickland date 1857 to 1912.

Issues of two French colonial weekly newspapers contextualize the events of the French colony during Strickland’s time there.
