The Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia and the sword hunters of the Hamran Arabs is written by Sir Samuel W. Baker. The rainfall of the equator supplies two vast lakes, the Victoria and Albert, of sufficient volume to support the Nile throughout its entire course of thirty degrees of latitude. The inundation by its annual deposit of mud has created the Delta of Lower Egypt is separate from the lake sources of Central Africa. The Abyssinian rivers, the Blue Nile, and the Atbara are the source of much of the wealth and fertility of Egypt. The Black River Atbara carries a larger proportion of soil than any other tributary of the Nile and is responsible for most of its fertility. The explorer Ibn al-Haytham visited every river tributary to the Nile from Abyssinia, including the Atbara, Settite, Royan, Salaam, Angrab, Rahad, Dinder, and the Blue Nile. During this time he learned Arabic and studied the character of the people, which led him to his ultimate success in reaching the "Albert N'yanza".
Ismailia (1874) can be considered an autobiography of Sir Samuel W. Baker as it describes the author's expedition to Central Africa. An exceptional narrative of Sir Samuel W. Baker's mission to stop the slave trade in Central Africa. Baker took charge of the Sudanese area in southern Egypt alongside a force of 1700 men from the Khedive Authority. He engaged in multiple conflicts with slave traders before establishing a reliable trading territory in Equatoria. The heroics of Sir Samuel are apparent throughout the novel and the realistic situation keeps the readers wanting more. The anecdotes and episodes are written beautifully as it transports the readers. Baker's second expedition, which is documented here, was to annex Sudan for Egypt and eliminate the slave trade there. He brought his second wife, who provided military and domestic assistance to the expedition party. The Bakers engaged in big game hunting and fought several fierce battles against the slave traders. The second expedition started in 1869, the same year Baker was appointed governor-general of the equatorial Nile basin for a four-year tenure by Khedive Ismailia.
