Ismailia is a book written by Samuel W. Baker, detailing his expedition to Central Africa in the mid-19th century, with the aim of suppressing the slave trade. The book is a first-hand account of Baker's journey, which began in Cairo and took him through Sudan, Uganda, and other parts of Central Africa. Baker's expedition was commissioned by the Khedive of Egypt, who was eager to put an end to the slave trade in the region. The book provides a vivid description of the challenges that Baker and his team faced along the way, including hostile tribes, disease, and difficult terrain. Despite these challenges, Baker was able to establish a number of trading posts and settlements in the region, and to make contact with local leaders and tribes. He also encountered a number of European explorers and missionaries, who were working in the region at the time. Ismailia is a fascinating account of a pivotal moment in the history of Central Africa, and of the efforts of one man to make a difference in the fight against slavery. It is also a valuable source of information on the geography, culture, and people of the region at the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
