Exploring Africa Island 5: Central and East Africa, and the Legacy of Exploration David Livingstone, 1813-1873 Missionary travels and researches in South Africa; including a sketch of sixteen years' residence in the interior of Africa, and a journey from the Cape of Good Hope to Loanda, on the west coast; thence across the continent, down the river Zambesi, to the eastern ocean. . . . 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.

All Author Description Title Africa American West Archaeology Canada ... Customer Service View Large Ismailia The Expedition for the Suppression of the Slave Trade ISBN: 1-58976-194-4 Pages: 446 The British explorer Sir Samuel White Baker (1821-1893), was known as an expert on Egypt and Sudan chiefly through his two books, The Albert N'yanza, Great Basin of the Nile (1866) and The Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia In 1869, Ismail Pasha, the ruler of Egypt, appointed him as governor general of Sudan, which was then governed by Egypt. Ismail wanted Baker to defeat the slave trade and open routes for commerce. The supreme command of this expedition is confided to Sir Samuel White Baker for four years ... to whom we also confer the most absolute and supreme power, even that of death, over all those who may compose the expedition. Baker is surprised by the authority given to him, but he knew what was in store: It was obvious to all observers that an attack upon the slave-dealing and slave-hunting establishments of Egypt by a foreigneran Englishmanwould be equal to a raid upon a hornets' nest, that all efforts to suppress the old-established traffic in negro slaves would be encountered with a determined opposition And it was.

All Author Description Title Africa American West Archaeology Canada ... Customer Service View Large The Rifle and Hound in Ceylon Stories from the Field, 1845 to 1853 ISBN: 1-58976-196-0 Pages: 192 Sir Samuel White Baker (1821-1893) had a passion for exploration and big game hunting. Among the "great white hunters" of the latter half of the 19th century and early 20th, Baker ranks with F. C. Selous, Major G. H. Anderson, and Jim Sutherland. The Rifle and Hound in Ceylon is Baker's first book, and it takes us on a series of hunts in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) from 1845 to 1853. There is a lot of good technical detail on guns, loads, and hunting techniques in the mid-19th century, and plenty of action, too, as in Baker's first elephant hunt: I fired at that instant; but in a twinkling of an eye I was flying through the air like a ball from a bat. At the moment of firing I had jumped to the left, but he struck me with his tusk in full charge upon my right thigh, and hurled me eight or ten paces from him. ...he beat the grass about with his trunk, and commenced a strict search for me. ... More than most such tales, it gives us an insight into the character of these hunters.
