Speke's Journal Journal of the Discovery of the Source of the Nile By John Hanning Speke (1868; Dover, 1996) Reviewed by Sean Redmond The Journal of African Travel-Writing Number 3 , September 1997 (pp. 87-91). © 1997 The Journal of African Travel-Writing J ohn Hanning Speke's career as an explorer began inauspiciously in 1855, when he and his commander, the swashbuckling Richard Burton, were nearly killed by marauders on the beaches of Somalia. Less than a decade later, and amidst a terrible public battle with Burton over the source of the Nile, Speke lay dead, the accidental or suicidal victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. However, for a few short years in between, he was held by most to be one of the greatest European explorers of Africa and one of the bravest sons of England. In a history dominated by Burton's prolific writings, the Journal of the Discovery of the Source of the Nile , now reprinted by Dover, offers a self-portrait of Speke during the pinnacle of his brief careerhis own three-year voyage into the heart of the African continent. In a spirit of goodwill and recompense for what Speke had suffered, Burton invited him on the second expedition to central Africa. Speke had planned to go shooting in the Caucasus, but he and Burton set out in June 1857 to investigate the truth about the Tanganyika, a reportedly huge lake in central Africa and perhaps the long-sought source of the Nile. This expedition, which lasted until the spring of 1859 and is described by Burton in

Francis Galton as Explorer and Geographer: Galton established himself at first as a geographer, explorer and meteorologist, rather than as a statistician or hereditarian. After his university career and the death of his father, Galton came into his fortune and spent some years living the life of a country gentleman, travelling around the British Isles hunting on the estates of friends, and travelling casually in Egypt and the Sudan. By 1850 he seems to have tired of this, and made a crucial choice which launched his scientific career: he resolved to explore a little known region of Southern Africa, joining the Royal Geographical Society and receiving a mandate from them to launch and expedition. Between April 1850 and January 1852 Galton explored and charted "Damaraland" and "Ovampoland" in South West Africa, financing the expedition himself. He was accompanied by Charles Andersson Shortly before Galton returned, he wrote an account of his trip for the Royal Geographical Society. 'Recent expedition into the interior of South-Western Africa.'

Search African History African explorers Who's who, where they went, and when. Related Resources Exploration of Africa Even in the 18th century, much of the interior of Africa was unfamiliar to Europeans. Rather they limited themselves to trade along the coast, first in gold, ivory, spices, and later slaves. In 1788 Joseph Banks, the botanist who'd sailed across the Pacific Ocean with Cook, went as far as to found the African Association to promote the exploration of the interior of the continent. What follows is a list of those explorers whose names went down in history. Ibn Battuta (1304-1377) travelled over 100,000 kilometres from his home in Morocco. According to the book he dictated, he travelled as far as Beijing and the Volga River; scholars say it's unlikely he travelled everywhere he claims to have. James Bruce (1730-94) was a Scottish explorer who set off from Cairo in 1768 to find the source of the River Nile. He arrived at Lake Tana in 1770, confirming that this lake was the origin of the Blue Nile, one of the tributaries of the Nile.

In 2002 the UPDF had about 60,000 troops. The size of the army rose in the late 1990s due to Ugandan military involvement in rebellions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Military service is voluntary. The military has had great influence on the political process since it took over the government in 1986. However, as civilian institutions have gained more powers under the new constitution, the army has lost some of its influence over decisions.

After an expedition into eastern Africa in the company of Sir Richard Burton, Speke returned to England to announce his hypothesis that the Nile issued from Lake Victoria Nyanza. However, his fellow geographers, including Burton, were skeptical of this claim. Under the sponsorship of Sir Roderick Murchison, President of the Royal Geographical Society, Speke went back to Africa and Lake Victoria Nyanza, and when he returned home he claimed that this time he had found conclusive evidence that the lake was indeed the source of the great river.

With portrait; maps by Arrowsmith; and numerous illustrations London: John Murray, 1857. Heraldic bookplate of William Edwards. The most famous of the Victorian African explorers, David Livingstone, a shopkeeper's son from Blantyre, Scotland, had qualified in medicine from Glasgow University and sailed for southern Africa with the London Missionary Society in 1840. Over the next years, he steadily pushed his base northward into central Africa, until in 1851 he reached the Zambesi. Sending his wife and family home, he set out on an extraordinary series of travels through what was still Arab slave-trading territory, until he eventually marched his porters down the Zambesi valley towards the east coast, and in 1855 discovered the Falls of Shongwe, illustrated here; these he admiringly described as seeming to "exceed in size the falls of the Clyde at Stonebyres," and renamed in honor of the British queen.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Africa Bibliography all periods Gross geography often has nothing to do with cultural lines. That is, the fact that Africa can be easily delimited as a continent by the Suez canal does not mean that it does not consist of several cultural or even racial zones at different epochs. Especially, up until about 600 CE Northern Africa was racially as well as culturally distinct from Sub-Saharan (black) Africa. While there was a Nubian conquest of Egypt, it was fairly short lived, temporarily replaced but did not breed out the uppermost classes, and the Egyptians remained a Semitic rather than Negroid people. Remarks about "Cleopatra being black" are simply silly, since she wasn't even Egyptian, but Macedonian Greek of an inbred royal line, with a narrow, prominently bridged nose. The Tuaregs still show the strongly Europid background of the Libyans and Numidians, who absorbed the Vandals as well. This is primarily a bibliography for Sub-Saharan Africa, which had often more contact with Arabia or India than with its own northern shore. While it will include the Tuareg and the Meroitic Empire, you will have to go to other bibliographies for the earlier peoples of North Africa. Search for Books at barnesandnoble.com
