The Nile Quest

The Exploration of the Nile and Its Basin

About this book

Three centuries of the search for the sources of the Nile - Bruce, Speke, Burton, Baker, Stanley - by a man who had governed in Africa and knew most of the survivors. Johnston illustrated it himself and does not pretend the expeditions were bloodless. Its 66 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.
