Abstract

Casati in Central Africa
July 16, 1891 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book Ten Years in Equatoria and the Return With Emin Pasha, by Major Gaetano Casati. Major Casati owes his present distinction as an African traveler solely to his chance connection with traveler Emin Pasha. He evidently possessed some excellent qualifications for a successful explorer, courage, tact, kindliness of disposition, and a ready faculty for adapting himself to native life, as well as some scientific training. His travels being confined to regions already visited by other explorers, he adds little to the knowledge of Africa beyond names of streams, a few vocabularies, and accounts of trivial native wars.
