Sir Samuel Baker (1821-93) was one of the most famous Victorian explorers, and the memoir of his celebrated expedition, first published in 1866, remains amongst the most important accounts of African exploration of the age. Written with great colour, it is a compelling account of an historic adventure.

The detailed account of a military expedition ordered by Ismail Pasha, Ottoman ruler of Egypt, to suppress the slave trade of Central Africa between 1869 and 1873. The first volume starts with preparations for the voyage and ends with Baker having established stability in Gondokoro and about to march south.
