""From The Cape To Cairo: The First Traverse Of Africa From South To North"" is a travelogue written by Ewart S. Grogan. The book describes Grogan's journey from Cape Town, South Africa to Cairo, Egypt, which he undertook between 1898 and 1900. The book is divided into three parts, each covering a different phase of the journey. In the first part, Grogan and his companion Arthur J. Sharp set out from Cape Town, traveling by foot, bicycle, and ox cart. They encounter numerous challenges along the way, including hostile tribes, difficult terrain, and illness. In the second part, Grogan continues the journey on his own, traveling through East Africa and encountering more challenges, including attacks by wild animals and further illness. In the third and final part, Grogan reaches Cairo, where he is welcomed by the British authorities and given a hero's welcome. The book concludes with an epilogue in which Grogan reflects on his journey and its significance. Overall, ""From The Cape To Cairo"" is a fascinating account of a remarkable journey through Africa at a time when much of the continent was still unexplored by Europeans. Grogan's writing is vivid and engaging, and the book provides a unique insight into the challenges and rewards of travel in Africa at the turn of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.… (mehr)

A wonderful tale for anyone who loves Africa - all its foibles and beauty and the early impact of white men on the continent are contained in what, to modern readers, can be truly funny at times when one realises how little the essence has been touched by the colonising forces. ( )
