1863 AFRICA 1st ed Speke Journal of Discovery of Source of the NILE River Egypt

John Speke's 'Journal of the Discovery of the Source of the Nile' is a rare, 19th-century account of his third African expedition in which he and his crew ventured to confirm his theories about the origins of the Nile River. Joined with Captain James Augustus Grant, Speke traveled to Lake Victoria to confirm the Nile's source.

According to the DNB,

"the importance of Speke's discoveries can hardly be overestimated. In discovering the 'source reservoir' of the Nile he succeeded in solving the 'problem of all ages' He and Grant were the first Europeans to cross Equatorial Eastern Africa, and thereby gained for the world a knowledge of rather more than eight degrees of latitude, or about five hundred geographical miles, in a portion of Eastern Africa previously totally unknown."

Description:
1603 Charlemagne & Louis Pious St Ansegisus FRANKS Monasticism Benedict Levita

Charlemagne was one of the most influential and iconic French kings. Reigning in the late 8th-century, Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, helped united most of Europe through the Carolingian Empire. Numerous historical works were published on the life and reign of Charlemagne including this early 17th-century history of the reigns of Charlemagne and his son Louis the Pious. This book is one of the best of its kind offering a complete survey of the 9th-century Franks. Published in 1603 by Chappell, it covers the Frankish monastic reforms set by Saint Ansegisus and the continuation of these laws by the unnamed pseudo-author known as Benedict Levita.

1731 King Mouley Ismael MOROCCO PIRATES Slaves & Slavery Janissaries Busnot RARE

Dominique Busnot was an 18th-century French historian who, after traveling to Morocco numerous times, wrote what became his most famous and important work – "History of Mouley Ismael, King of Morocco". Mouley Ismael served as king for nearly fifty years and is remembered for expanding Moroccan territory through military strength and diplomacy with European powers. Busnot describes Mouley's reign as bloodthirsty, having taken French Christians as prisoner by Moroccan pirates. Having spent many years in Morocco negotiating with Moroccan leaders for the release of these prisoners, Busnot wrote this work to convince readers to help financially with the efforts to free the Christian prisoners from Morocco.

This 1731 edition of Busnot's most famous work was published in Rouen by Pierre Machuse and includes Busnot position on the church's tradition of pardoning slaves.

Description:
1888 Black Phalanx Negro Soldiers African American Military Civil War Abolition
Joseph T. Wilson was an African-American soldier who served in the 54th Massachusetts during the American Civil War. While his military career was not extensive, it did provide him with an understanding of the role that black men had during the 19th-century. He began writing poems and speeches, most of which were used to push an abolitionist-like agenda – black suffrage, full citizenship, and social reforms. His best book, and to this day most-known, was 'The Black Phalanx' which was the most comprehensive study of African-American military service in the 19th-century.
