First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine condition. No jacket. First American Edition. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1890. Near Fine condition (one tiny water spot on the spine). Bright, clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Hinges are perfectly sound. Pages are fresh and crisp. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Illustrated with a few engravings and a double-page "Map of Central Africa, Showing H.M. Stanley's Route and Discoveries." This is the true story of Henry Stanley's expedition to rescue Mehmed Emin Pasha (1840-92). Pasha, whose birth name was Eduard Schnitzer, was a physician and German explorer who served as a medical officer under Gen. Charles Gordon in the Sudan from 1876-78. Pasha succeeded Gordon in 1878 as governor of Equatoria, at that time a province of Egyptian Sudan. As a result of the Mahdist revolt of 1882, Pasha was cut off from the outside world. Stanley's last expedition was organized to rescue him. In April 1889, some 1,500 people set out from Lake Albert for the east coast. Along the way, they found the Ruwenzori Range. They also succeeded in proving that Lakes Edward and Albert were linked by the Semliki River, a fact that cleared up one of the last mysteries concerning sources of the Nile. Arriving in December of that year, Stanley and his expedition safely escorted Pasha to Mombasa. But only two years after this book was published, Pasha was murdered while exploring in the region of Lake Tanganyika. Bound in the original red cloth. First American Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/No jacket. 8vo. 176pp.
