"The Remarkable Expedition, now reissued, is a vivid and entertaining account of the extraordinary events involved in the rescue of Emin Pasha, Governor of Equatoria, a remote province on the upper reaches of the White Nile cut off from the rest of the world as a result of the Mahdi rising in the Sudan. After thirteen arduous months and having traversed a distance across equatorial Africa approaching one-fifth of the earth's circumference, Stanley and his men came as the heroic rescuers of Emin, who was at heart reluctant to leave his province." .
