A wonderfully readable condensation of two of Baker's earlier, longer works recounting his self-sponsored expeditions into the Dark Continent to discover the sources of the Nile: <i>The Albert N'Yanza</i>, <i>Great Basin Of The Nile (1866)</i> and <i>The Nile Tributaries Of Abyssinia (1867)</i>. And, of course, to bag a few elephants along the way. (Summary by Steven Seitel)
