Excerpt
In July, 1878, when serving as lieutenant in H. I. H. the Crown Prince Rudolph’s regiment, the 19th Foot, on the Bosnian frontier, I received a letter from General Gordon, inviting me to come to the Sudan and take service with the Egyptian Government, under his direction.
I had previously, in 1874, undertaken a journey to the Sudan, travelling by Assuan, Korosko, and Berber, and had reached Khartum in the month of October of that year; thence I had visited the Nuba mountains, and had remained a short time at Delen, where a station of the Austrian Roman Catholic Mission had just been established.
Description
Rudolf Slatin was captured by the Mahdi's forces and spent eleven years as a prisoner in Sudan before making a dramatic escape. His gripping firsthand account provides an extraordinary window into the Mahdist uprising.
