Pre-war Liberia

I'm fascinated by what Liberia used to be like before the war - everywhere I look there are remains of once-great things. Does anyone out there have photos of the Mount Coffee Dam, Bong Mines, Bomi Mines, Monrovia City, the Freeport, the airport...in fact, anything now reduced to a shadow of what it once was? Olly

Hi Ollie - I am researching for a speach at uni which I am doing on the Liberia Civial Wars - and guess what came up when i googled Pre Liberian Civil War prosperity ..... I would be really interested in hearing what your perceptions are and your main take-away!
