Skeletons on the Zahara
Skeletons on the Zahara: A True Story of Survival | Dean King
Everywhere hailed as a masterpiece of historical adventure, this enthralling narrative recounts the experiences of twelve American sailors who were shipwrecked off the coast of Africa in 1815, captured by desert nomads, sold into slavery, and subjected to a hellish two-month journey through the bone-dry heart of the Sahara. The ordeal of these men - who found themselves tested by barbarism, murder, starvation, death, dehydration, and hostile tribes that roamed the desert on camelback - is made indelibly vivid in this gripping account of courage, brotherhood, and survival.

In 1815, a group of American sailors are shipwrecked off the coast of #Africa, captured by desert nomads, sold into slavery and then forced on a two-month trek through the Sahara. This historical tale of survival is SO GOOD. #LyricalApril
