Stanleys Nachhut in Yambuya

This book recounts a harrowing episode in the history of African exploration. In 1887, Henry Morton Stanley led an expedition to the Congo to rescue Emin Pasha, the governor of Equatoria, who was besieged by hostile forces. This volume focuses on the rear-guard unit under the command of Edmund Barttelot, which suffered from disease, starvation, and attacks by cannibalistic tribes. The author, a member of the expedition who survived these trials, describes the events with vivid detail and introspection.
