About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of In the Heart of Africa by Samuel White Baker. Read in English by Steven Seitel. A wonderfully readable condensation of two of Baker's earlier, longer works recounting his self-sponsored expeditions into the Dark Continent to discover the sources of the Nile: The Albert N'Yanza, Great Basin Of The Nile (1866) and The Nile Tributaries Of Abyssinia (1867). And, of course, to bag a few elephants along the way. (Summary by Steven Seitel)
