Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile, Volume 3 (of 5) by James Bruce
"Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile, Volume 3 (of 5)" by James Bruce is a multi-volume 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, culture, and neighboring regions. Upon his return to London, his sensational stories were met with ridicule and accusations of exaggeration. Yet explorers later confirmed the substantial accuracy of
his observations, validating his contributions to geographical knowledge. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
