A reprint of the 'Popular Edition', with 22 illustrations including a tissue-protected frontispiece, and two folding maps. 8vo. xviii, 416pp + xxxii publisher's catalogue dated June 1898. Burgandy cloth lettered and ruled in gold at the spine with a series of blind-stamped ruled to the upper and lower margins of both boards. Top edge dust soiled and with a trace of wear to the corner tips, and some bruising to the backstrip ends. Former owner name inkstamped to a blank preliminary. Quite a nice, bright copy. A personal account of Rudolf Slatin's service in Sudan, including a detailed narrative of the Battle of Shaykan (1883), after which he was captured and held for eleven years before finally escaping. This shortened 'popular edition' omits much of the historical matter focusing instead on the author's personal experiences. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers BC18578
