Bethune (George Bethune) A Narrative of the Expedition to Dongola and Sennaar Under the Command of His Excellence Ismael Pasha, undertaken by Order of His Highness Mehemmed Ali Pasha, Viceroy of Egypt, By An American In The Service Of The Viceroy Produced by Charles Klingman; HTML version by David Widger "A Narrative of the Expedition to Dongola and Sennaar" by George Bethune English is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book documents an expedition led by Ismael Pasha, ordered by Mehemmed Ali Pasha, to conquer the regions of Dongola and Sennaar in Sudan. The text likely explores themes of military strategy, cultural encounters, and the ancient history of the Nile, highlighting the landscapes and challenges faced during the journey. The opening of the narrative sets the stage by describing the conditions in Egypt under the Viceroy Mehemmed Ali Pasha, who has worked to restore order and revive trade in the region. The author, an American artillery chief in the service of the Viceroy, recounts his arrival at the army's camp and his initial impressions of the troops prepared to embark on the expedition. He also details some personal struggles, such as his battle with ophthalmia, which temporarily hinders his ability to participate in the early stages of the campaign. The vivid descriptions of the Nile's geographical features and the problems faced by the army, including treacherous rapids and logistical challenges, set a rich, adventurous tone for the journey ahead.
