In Darkest Africa Or The Quest Rescue And Retreat Of Emin Governor Of Equatoria

This volume chronicles Stanley's reaching the Emin Pasha and finally persuading him to abandon Lake Albert in 1889.

In October 1888, the Welsh-American explorer Henry Stanley started his African expedition to rescue the colonial governor Emin Pasha, whose colony in Eastern Sudan was burning with a revolt. Stanley's expedition was tired, and in search of food, he sent a couple of his team members to the closest village. They came back with a couple of locals, which sight was different from other African tribes. That was one of the first encounters with pigmees, an ancient African known from Homer's Illiad. The presented book is an accurate account of Stanley's travel into the depths of Africa and his discoveries.
