Beskrivelse af The Discovery Of The Source Of The Nile
""The Discovery of the Source of the Nile"" is a travelogue written by John Hanning Speke, an English explorer who set out on a journey to discover the source of the Nile River in Africa. The book chronicles his adventures and challenges as he travels through the African continent, encountering various tribes and landscapes. Speke's journey ultimately leads him to the discovery of Lake Victoria, which he believed to be the source of the Nile. The book includes detailed descriptions of the people, wildlife, and geography of Africa, as well as the political and social climate of the time. It is a fascinating account of one man's determination to uncover one of the world's greatest mysteries and is considered a classic of African exploration literature.Uzinza, which we now entered, is ruled by two Wahuma chieftains of foreign blood, descended from the Abyssinian stock, of whom we saw specimens scattered all over Unyamuezi, and who extended even down south as far as Fipa. Travellers see very little, however, of these Wahuma, because, being pastorals, they roam about with their flocks and build huts as far away as they can from cultivation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
