THE HAKLUYT SOCIETY SERIES III VOLUME 32 A WALK ACROSS AFRICA J. A. GRANT'S ACCOUNT OF THE NILE EXPEDITION OF 1860-1863 Edited by ROY BRIDGES THE HAKLUYT SOCIETY 2018 25 x 18 cm. xxix + 411 pp + colour plates. HB/DJ The Nile Expedition of 1860-1863 was one of the most important exploratory expeditions made in the nineteenth century. The long-debated question of the location of the source of the Nile was answered (despite continuing arguments) and the venture had important historical consequences. Earlier accounts of the expedition have assumed James Augustus Grant to have been no more than the loyal second-in-command to John Manning Speke, the leader. This new edition of Grant's 1864 book, A Walk across Africa, provides the opportunity to re-examine his role.
