Beschreibung

1864 1ed Speke Journal of Discovery of Source of Nile River Egypt Africa MAPS John Speke s Journal of the Discovery of the Source of the Nile is a rare, 19th-century account of his third African expedition in which he and his crew ventured to confirm his theories about the origins of the Nile River. Joined with Captain James Augustus Grant, Speke traveled to Lake Victoria to confirm the Nile s source. According to the DNB, the importance of Speke's discoveries can hardly be overestimated. In discovering the 'source reservoir' of the Nile he succeeded in solving the 'problem of all ages' He and Grant were the first Europeans to cross Equatorial Eastern Africa, and thereby gained for the world a knowledge of rather more than eight degrees of latitude, or about five hundred geographical miles, in a portion of Eastern Africa previously totally unknown. This 1864 edition is complete with maps, portraits, and numerous other illustrations from drawings by Captain Grant.
