Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile, Volume 1 (of 5) by James Bruce
"Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile, Volume 1 (of 5)" by James Bruce is a travel account published in 1790. Bruce chronicles his journeys through the Horn of Africa from 1768 to 1773, tracing the Blue Nile and documenting Ethiopian history and culture. Upon returning to London after twelve years abroad, his sensational stories were met with incredulity and ridicule. Critics accused him of exaggeration and fabrication. Yet later explorers
confirmed the substantial accuracy of his observations, validating his significant contributions to geographical knowledge. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
