About this title

Book Description

In the 1850s John Hanning Speke made two expeditions to Africa, the first to Somalia inspiring the second to East Africa. This 1864 book presents his memoirs of both ventures, and his identification of Lake Victoria as the source of the White Nile, a claim verified only after his death.
