pickVictorian explorers were pretty terrible in retrospect, bushwhacking their way through locals because Europeans were always right, but I enjoyed this larger-than-life look at the rivalry between Burton and Speke to be the first European to find the source of the White Nile. I‘m definitely #TeamBurton; I mean who wouldn‘t love a dogged, over-dramatic polyglot?? Speke just seemed a bit more boring. Interesting read for #Uganda #ReadingAfrica2022!
