Description

""The Discovery of the Source of the Nile"" is a historical account written by John Hanning Speke, a British explorer who embarked on a journey to discover the source of the Nile River in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles Speke's travels through Africa, his encounters with various tribes and their customs, and his eventual discovery of Lake Victoria as the source of the Nile. The narrative is filled with vivid descriptions of the landscape, wildlife, and people of Africa, as well as the challenges and dangers that Speke and his team faced on their expedition. The book also provides insights into the political and economic climate of Africa at the time, as well as the impact of European colonialism on the continent. Overall, ""The Discovery of the Source of the Nile"" is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in African history, exploration, and adventure.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.
