Description
Sahara is a desert travel book by Angus Buchanan of Scotland. Murray published it in London in the year 1926 for explorers. Photographs, sketches, and a map crowd the African narrative inside. Buchanan also wrote Wild Life in Canada and Three Years of War. A front plate calls the desert view the edge of the unknown.
He dedicates the book to Feri N'Gashi, only a camel, he says. That camel was steel true and great of heart on the march. A prefatory note praises Buchanan as intrepid explorer and fine biologist. He had added many new species to science before this crossing. Camel caravans, Air mountains, and desert peoples fill his Sahara.
