Gathered and edited after Burton’s death by W. H. Wilkins, these accounts summarise his greatest journeys: the disguised pilgrimage to Medina and Mecca, the ride to forbidden Harar, the expedition to the lake regions of Central Africa, the journey to the City of the Mormons, and missions to Dahomey and up the Congo.
An ideal introduction to Burton’s restless genius, with the prejudices of a Victorian adventurer. Download the free EPUB.
