First English edition of an account of a nineteenth-century expedition up the Nile.
Juan Maria Schuver, travel writer and reporter, left Cairo at the turn of 1880-81, proceeding up the Blue Nile intending to search for a new route through to the East African coast. Frustrated by local political turbulence, he remained for the better part of two years in the hills of the upper Blue Nile and the eastern watershed of the White Nile basin. This lively account of the region and his encounters with local people is presented from the rediscovered original manuscripts.
