Description

Facsimile of hand-drawn map by Gen. Gordon, illustrating route taken from the Red Sea to the Nile enroute to Khartoum. While drawn some time before the siege of Khartoum, it usefully illustrates the option, refused by Lord Wolseley, of a much shorter route for the Gordon Relief Expedition of 1884-5. [FN/ON/FHM 2019]
