About This Item
London: C. Kegan Paul & Co, 1879. Burton's 1877-78 second expedition into the Midian, which, like his first in 1877, was financed by the Khedive in Cairo as a search for gold. He mapped a 600-mile route through the northern and southern Midian recording its ruined ancient cities. For the Khedive in Cairo, he brought back 25 tons of minerals to be assayed. For himself, he seriously considered forming a company to exploit the oil resources of the Midian, but nothing came of it (Penzer, pp. 96-97; Spink 61).
