Description:
Here is a rarity. Original cloth binding. 1867 first London edition published by Macmillan.
Sir Samuel White Baker's THE NILE TRIBUTARIES OF ABYSSINIA AND THE SWORD HUNTERS OF THE HAMRAN ARABS
This is one of the most exciting accounts of true exploration and adventure ever published.
The endsheets on this copy were replaced at the time that the spine cloth was internally reinforced.
Baker and his young wife, whom he purportedly stole from a slave auction in the Ottoman Empire when he was not the winning bidder, for an entire year explored the many tributaries of the Nile and learned Arabic in preparation for exploring for the source of the Nile. The Bakers' subsequent Nile explorations, and meeting John Hanning Speke and James Augustus Grant on their way back from discovering the source of the Nile, is covered in Baker's THE ALBERT N'YANZA, which was published in 1866 even though the events occurred AFTER the events of THE NILE TRIBUTARIES.

Contents complete with all plates present and fold-out map at rear.

From the editor's note to the Struik Africana Collectanea reprint:

'The author and his party travelled by wagon and oxen to Grahamstown, Somerset, Graaff Reinet, New Lattakoo, through Griqualand and Bechuanaland, to Boksfontein, Cambellsdorp and Kuruman through the domains… Read More
