Rene Caillie
Auguste René Caillié was a French explorer and the first living European to return from the city of Timbuktu. Caillié was assassinated in September 1826 by a British officer, Major Gordon Laing, in Timbuktu while leaving the city. Caillié was the first to come back to life. Caillié was born in western France in a village near the port of Rochefort. His parents were poor and died when he was a child. At the age of 16, he left home and enrolled as a crew member on a French Navy ship bound for Saint-Louis on the coast of modern Senegal in West Africa. He stayed there for several months then crossed the Atlantic to Guadeloupe on a trader. Two years later, he made a second visit to West Africa while accompanying a British expedition through the Ferlo Desert to Bakel on the Senegal River. Caillié returned to Saint-Louis in 1824 with a strong desire to become an explorer and visited Timbuktu.
