Bag om A Walk Across Africa

A Walk Across Africa: Or Domestic Scenes From My Nile Journal is a travel memoir written by James Augustus Grant. The book recounts the author's journey across Africa, from Zanzibar to Egypt, in the mid-19th century. Grant was a Scottish explorer and naturalist who accompanied the famous explorer, Sir Richard Burton, on the expedition. The book is based on Grant's personal journal, and it provides a vivid account of the people, places, and wildlife he encountered during his journey. The narrative is filled with detailed descriptions of the landscapes, cultures, and customs of the various African tribes and communities he encountered, as well as the challenges he faced during his travels. The book also includes illustrations and maps that help readers visualize the places and events described in the text. Overall, A Walk Across Africa is a fascinating and informative account of one man's journey through a continent that was largely unknown to the Western world at the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
