This important book, first published in 1826, brings together the memoirs of three explorers, Major Dixon Denham (1786–1828), Lieutenant Hugh Clapperton (1788–1827) and Dr Walter Oudney (1790–1824), to document the first complete crossing of the Sahara in recorded history, and provide unique insights into pre-colonial Africa.
