“We reached the point of the broad, level island that divides the waters of the two Niles, and could soon distinguish the single minaret and buildings of the city.”

“A boat, coming down from the White Nile, passed us on the right, and another, bound for Khartoum, led us up the Blue Nile.”

COMPLETE ILLUSTRATED EPUB · 13 ORIGINAL PLATES + ROUTE MAP

Bayard Taylor's sweeping Nile travel narrative follows his journey through Egypt and Nubia to Khartoum, the meeting of the Blue and White Niles, and onward into the Shilluk country. First published in 1854, it combines vivid landscape writing with an eyewitness record of travel in nineteenth-century Sudan.

This Nile Book Store edition includes:
the complete forty-chapter English text; all thirteen genuine period illustrations; the original map of the Nile and adjacent countries; clean reflowable typography; linked contents; and a bright new cover.

Illustration preview: Every gallery image is an authentic illustration or map from the source edition; none is AI-generated.

Historical context: This nineteenth-century American travel account contains dated and sometimes offensive descriptions of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, and enslavement. It is presented unabridged for historical and research value.
