Hammerton is a collection of travel writings and adventure narratives written in the early 20th century. This compilation features famous explorers and their expeditions, chronicling their experiences and discoveries in various parts of the world, particularly focusing on notable journeys to uncover the sources of the Nile River and other significant locations. The opening portion introduces three prominent travel chronicles: Sir Samuel Baker's explorations in Africa, particularly regarding the Albert N'yanza and the source of the Nile; George Borrow's travels in Wales and Spain; and James Boswell's account of his tour with Dr. Samuel Johnson in the Hebrides. Each account highlights the respective author's motivation, the challenges faced during their travels, and the people encountered along the way. The narratives are rich with observations about the landscape, culture, and hardships, providing readers with an engaging glimpse into the spirit of adventure and the pursuit of knowledge that characterized exploration during that era.
