Beschrijving

In this riveting account, second lieutenant English, a member of the United States Marine Corps during the War of 1812, embarked on a remarkable journey that would lead him to become one of the first Americans to set foot in Egypt. After resigning his commission, he embraced Islam and joined Ismail Pasha on an audacious expedition up the Nile River against Sennar in 1820, where he distinguished himself as an accomplished artillery officer. His captivating memoir, Narrative of the Expedition to Dongola and Sennaar (London 1822), chronicles his extraordinary adventures and insights along the way.
