About the book
An historical account of the series of explorations into darkest Africa which resulted in the discovery of the source of the Nile River and opened this highway from Central Africa to the Mediterranean Sea.
First sentence: The Zanzibar that Burton and Speke first saw at the end of 1856 was a much more important place than it is today; indeed, it was almost the only centre of overseas commerce worth the name along the whole East African seaboard.
