44. Relocating Burton: Public And Private Writings On Africa critical and popular works, the explorer Richard Burton in comparison with the Africantravel narratives of and onetime friend john hanning speke, Burton also http://www.unc.edu/~ottotwo/burton.html

Relocating Burton: Public and Private Writings on Africa By Greg Garrett The Journal of African Travel-Writing Number 2 , March 1997 (pp. 70-79). I n recent critical and popular works, the explorer Richard Burton has primarily been described either as an advocate (whether consciously or unconsciously) of British imperialism or, conversely, as a sensitive observer of African culture worthy of contemporary canonization. The actual truth about this remarkably complex Victorian lies somewhere apart from both these extremes. In Burton's popular narratives of his explorations in Africa, among them First Footsteps in East Africa, The Lake Regions of Central Africa , and Wanderings in West Africa , Burton often reflects the attitudes and beliefs of his reading audience. But in comparison with the African travel narratives of many of his contemporaries, particularly his traveling companion and one-time friend John Hanning Speke, Burton also reveals a sympathy for the cultures he encounters and a willingness to record the details of their existence even when they have little or no bearing on the goals of his expeditions. In Speke's public writing, African natives are simply an obstacle in the way of his aims; in Burton's, they seem to represent both a potential challenge and a source of potential knowledge. The latter sets him apart from most of his contemporaries and explains Burton's problematic status as a Victorian explorer and writer. But perhaps most important, Burton's personal ambition and his position as an outsider in British culture ensure that he displays a wide range of attitudes toward Africa, depending on the circumstances of composition and whether his anticipated audience was popular or private.

45. Francis Galton: Explorer And Geographer of his trip, Narrative of an explorer in Tropical awarded him a gold medal for Africanexploration launched by Richard Burton and john hanning speke to discover http://www.mugu.com/galton/explorer-geographer.html

Francis Galton as Explorer and Geographer: Galton established himself at first as a geographer, explorer and meteorologist, rather than as a statistician or hereditarian. After his university career and the death of his father, Galton came into his fortune and spent some years living the life of a country gentleman, travelling around the British Isles hunting on the estates of friends, and travelling casually in Egypt and the Sudan. By 1850 he seems to have tired of this, and made a crucial choice which launched his scientific career. He resolved to explore a little known region of Southern Africa, joining the Royal Geographical Society and receiving a mandate from them to launch and expedition. Between 1850 and 1852 Galton spent two years exploring Damaraland in South West Africa, financing the expedition himself. He was accompanied by Charles Andersson , an amateur naturalist who would stay on in the region. Shortly before Galton returned, he wrote an account of his trip for the Royal Geographical Society. 'Recent expedition into the interior of South-Western Africa.'

David Livingstone [b. 1813, d. 1873] Born in Lanarkshire on March the 19 th 1813, David Livingstone [pictured] went onto work at the local cotton mill at the tender age of ten. By twenty-three, he was attending Anderson’s College before graduating to Glasgow University a few years later. After applying to do missionary work the London Missionary Society sent him to carry out work in South Africa. He travelled many miles on his expeditions, visiting the Kalahari Desert, Lake Ngami and the Zambesi River among other places. He was also well acquainted with the African slave trade. Livingstone was given a welcome reception on arriving back in England, but left again, this time as consul at Quelimane. In 1865 he led an expedition to Africa, in an attempt to find the source of the awesome River Nile. Ill and feverish, Livingstone fell into difficulties but was rescued by journalist and fellow explorer Henry Stanley [see below]. As well as being a famous explorer Livingstone was also renowned for his contributions to world literature, his most famous book being

They went in search of: fame and celebrity, and people to convert to Christianity POWER AND KNOWLEDGE European travelers hugely increased a general understanding of geography, climate and resources. Some accounts of the people were objective (as far as an outsider can be objective), others were willfully misleading. All the information these travelers brought back - wrong and right - contributed to devising an imperial strategy for controlling Africa. SOURCES OF RIVERS For Europeans the golden age of travelling was the early 19th century. The first half of the century was dominated by a desire to establish the sources of two of African's great trading arteries, the Niger and the Nile respectively. The sort of men who undertook journeys across regions which were unknown to Europe were in the main strong willed, eccentric, sometimes cruel and prejudiced.

Related Resources Exploration of Africa Even in the 18th century, much of the interior of Africa was unfamiliar to Europeans. Rather they limited themselves to trade along the coast, first in gold, ivory, spices, and later slaves. In 1788 Joseph Banks, the botanist who'd sailed across the Pacific Ocean with Cook, went as far as to found the African Association to promote the exploration of the interior of the continent. What follows is a list of those explorers whose names went down in history. Ibn Battuta (1304-1377) travelled over 100,000 kilometres from his home in Morocco. According to the book he dictated, he travelled as far as Beijing and the Volga River; scholars say it's unlikely he travelled everywhere he claims to have.

Glossary of Exploration Terms Sir Richard Francis Burton: English Explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton (March 19, 1821 - Oct. 20, 1890) was an English explorer, linguist, author, and soldier. In 1853, Burton traveled to Cairo, Suez, and the holy cities of Medina and Mecca. Burton made an 1854 journey to the forbidden East African city of Harar (Harer). He was disguised as an Arab pilgrim and spoke excellent Arabic. (Europeans were not allowed in Arabian holy cities; they were executed if they were caught.) In 1855, Burton and three companions (including John Hanning Speke and two other officers of the British East India Company) began an unsuccessful trip in search of the source of the White Nile; one member of the expedition was killed in an attack by Africans, and Speke and Burton were injured. After a stint as a soldier in the Crimean War, Burton returned to Africa (1857-58) with Speke in order to renew their search. After much hardship, they made it to Lake Tanganyika (they were the first Europeans to see it). Speke continued on to the lake that Speke later named Lake Victoria, the biggest lake in Africa (Burton was too ill, suffering from malaria). Speke realized (correctly) that Lake Victoria was the White Nile's source, but Burton did not agree - their long friendship ended over this disagreement.

Tales from the Jungle A Rainforest Reader EDITED BY Daniel R. Katz and Miles Chapin Foreword by George Plimpton Crown Trade Paperbacks, 1995 Order this book from Amazon.com The Swarm of Beetles from What Led to the Discovery of the Source of the Nile (1864), by John Hanning Speke This horrifying short selection comes from John Hanning Speke (1827 1864)'s book WHAT LED TO THE DISCOVERY OF THE SOURCE OF THE NILE, a title that is somewhat misleading. There was great rivalry between African explorers of all nationalities in the middle of the nineteenth century and many reputations were made and lost with claims of being the first white man to arrive at some particular place. Speke's book notwithstanding, it was not until Alan Morehead's two volumes THE WHITE NILE (1960) and THE BLUE NILE (1962) that the complete story of the Nile's exploration, and all of its white male "discoverers", was fully told. Speke was an adventurer of the old school pith helmet, swagger stick, camp bathtub, etc. and a great friend of the explorer Sir Richard Burton, who is not to be confused with the hard drinking Welsh actor of the same name. Speke and Burton undertook two African journeys together, in 1854 and 1858 and then had a violent falling out. They each published separate accounts of their efforts, and their rivalry became front page news in the tabloid newspapers of the day. Speke died in a hunting accident just before a public debate between the two was held in front of the Royal Geographic Society in London. Whether Speke's death was a suicide or not is a matter still debated in some academic and literary circles.

Explorers of Africa by Aaron Stutz Class of 1997 B efore the age of European imperialism in Africa, the interior of the continent was all but unknown to European civilization. Prior to the colonial interests of the major European nations, the age of exploration in Africa opened up many parts of the continent's interior. Numerous expeditions, notably those of Dr. David Livingstone, Sir Richard Burton, John Hanning Speke, Heinrich Barth, de Brazza, and Sir Henry Stanley, facilitated the rapid colonization of Africa by making known features of potential interest. These explorers were the key that would open up entirely new issues of rivalry and conflict between the European powers of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, ultimately contributing to the opening shots of World War One. One of the first, and most well-known, explorers to penetrate the interior of Africa was Dr. David Livingstone, a British physician and missionary. He was sent to South Africa as a medical missionary during 1840, and his subsequent expeditions and discoveries caused many parts of the extant maps of Africa to be redrawn. Among his many important contributions are his discovery and exploration of the Zambezi river in its entirety, as well as several African lakes. During a visit to England in 1865, he wrote Narrative of an Expedition to the Zambezi and its Tributaries, exposing the slave trade of the Arabs and the Portuguese, as well as revealing the commercial possibilities of the Zambezi region. Dr. Livingstone marked the beginning of the influx of explorers into Africa's interior.
