The Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia Summary
| Baker learned Arabic and set off into the unknown with his wife, to explore the Nile system for a year. Opinionated, witty, and a great hunter; in short, the very model of a proper British Explorer of the 19th century. |

| Sir Samuel Baker writes in his introduction, "This being a concise summary of the Nile system, I shall describe twelve months' exploration, during which I examined every individual river that is tributary to the Nile from Abyssinia." But how can you resist a book that includes such chapter sub-headings as "Save me from my Friends" or "Pest Spots of the World"? Baker learned Arabic, took his wife with him and set off into the unknown. Opinionated, witty, and a great hunter; in short the very model of a proper British Explorer of the 19th century. |
