Sir Samuel White Baker (1821 1893) was a traveller and explorer.
This two-volume work of 1874 is his account of a military
expedition under Ismail Pasha (Ismail the Magnificent, 1830 1895),
Khedive of Egypt, to suppress the slave-trade of central Africa
between 1869 and 1873. Having found Egyptian citizens exploiting
the population of the lawless central lands, Ismail determined to
colonize and modernize the Nile basin (now southern Egypt and
Sudan). He appointed Baker governor-general and major-general in
the Ottoman army. Illustrated with over 50 plates and maps, and
with Baker's lively observations of the country and of the society
he was trying to reform, this book is a wonderful record of a lost
world, and of an important stage in late Ottoman military
expansion. The first volume starts with preparations for the voyage
and ends with Baker having established stability in Gondokoro and
about to march further south.
