Summary | "The Albert N'Yanza, Great Basin of the Nile, And Explorations of the Nile Sources" by Sir Samuel W. Baker is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work chronicles Baker's expedition to discover the sources of the Nile, particularly focusing on the great reservoir he named the Albert N'yanza, which he identified as a significant source contributing to the Nile River. Throughout the book, Baker details the geographical landscapes, the challenges faced during the expedition, and his reflections on the various tribes he encounters along the way. At the start of the narrative, Baker sets the stage for his ambitious endeavor, indicating a deep yearning to uncover the long-mysterious origins of the Nile. With a resolve underscored by his past experiences in hardship and endurance, he describes gathering supplies and assembling a team for the journey, which includes his devoted wife who insists on accompanying him. The opening portion presents Baker’s initial preparations, detailing the geographic and political challenges he anticipates and accentuating his determination to navigate through vast deserts and hostile territories. Additionally, the author reflects on the historical significance of the Nile and the importance of trade and interaction between different cultures, setting a serious tone that captures the gravity of his mission.
