Across Eastern Sudan
From Souakin the route turns inland toward the extraordinary peaks above Kassala, then follows the rivers and grasslands of the eastern provinces. Cotton’s account combines travel, camp life, landscape and natural history, carrying the reader from the Red Sea Hills through the Atbara and Setit country to the Blue Nile.
“On leaving Kassala our road lay westward, across the great plain beneath the mountains, toward the river country.”
