Synopsis

Lake Victoria: A Narrative Of Explorations In Search Of The Source Of The Nile, Compiled From The Memoirs Of Captains Speke And Grant (1868) is a historical book written by John Hanning Speke. The book is based on the explorations of Speke and his companion, Captain Grant, as they searched for the source of the Nile River in the mid-19th century.

The book is a fascinating account of one of the most important geographical discoveries of the 19th century and provides a unique insight into the challenges faced by explorers during this period.
