Speke: And the Discovery of the Source of the Nile
Alexander Maitland
John Hanning Speke was one of the Victorian explorers and his famous achievement was the discovery in 1862 of the main source of the White Nile in Lake Victoria Nyanza. He joined the Indian Army, and after serving for ten years he joined Sir Richard Burton's abortive expedition to Somaliland. This biography offers a full-length study of Speke.
