Although Juan Maria Schuver left Cairo with the intention of finding a new route to the East African coast, local political turbulence following the Mahdist challenge to the Sudanese government and internal stirrings in Abyssinia meant that he was unable to carry out this project. As a result, Schuver remained for the better part of two years in the hills of the upper Blue Nile and the eastern watershed of the White Nile basin. He wrote lively accounts of these regions and his encounters with local people. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 43018)
