The expedition of James Bruce, Scottish, had a stated purpose, discover the sources of the Nile; After disembarking in Alexandria He traveled throughout Ethiopia, and in the deserts of Egypt. It is near Khartoum he located the source of the Blue Nile. James Bruce can be considered one of the earliest scientific explorers on earth, it is indeed with great rigor that amassed specific knowledge of geography, flora and fauna, meteorology ... Also Journey to the sources of the Nile is certainly one of the best travel narratives on Africa. The first three volumes cover the customs, trade, institutions; the fifth and final volume deals of Natural History.
