Résumé
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The debate between Richard Francis Burton and John Hanning Speke was over who had discovered the Source of the Nile River. Burton claimed it was Lake Victoria, while Speke claimed it was Lake Tanganyika.#2 The public was excited to see Burton and Speke, as their encounters with Livingstone had been a balm for the wounds of the Crimean War, the ill-fated Charge of the Light Brigade, and the bloody slaughter of British women and children during the Indian Mutiny.#3 The British public knew nothing of Livingstone's personal travails. They saw him as a legend in decline, not a luminary whose lined, tanned face they longed to see. As 11 o'clock came and went, however, Livingstone was nowhere to be seen.#4 The Nile was the longest river in the world, and it was discovered by the Greeks Herodotus and Ptolemy in 460 BC. The source of the Nile was still unknown when Admiral Lord Nelson destroyed Napoleon's navy at the Battle of the Nile in 1798.
