"Our Caughnawagas in Egypt" by Louis Jackson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the experiences of a contingent of North American Indian voyageurs, specifically the Caughnawaga Indians, who participated in the British boat expedition to navigate the Nile and provide aid during the relief of Khartoum. The narrative dives into the cultural significance and the unique perspective of the Caughnawagas as they journeyed through Egypt, highlighting both the challenges faced and the skills exhibited by these Indigenous boatmen. In this detailed account, Jackson takes readers on a voyage filled with vivid observations of the Nile, its landscapes, and the local culture. The crew encounters a range of experiences and challenges, from amusing anecdotes about life on the expedition to more serious undertakings while navigating the difficult waters and cataracts of the Nile. Jackson's narrative is not just a recounting of events; it also reveals insights into the day-to-day lives of the Egyptian people and the surroundings, emphasizing the resilience and capabilities of the Caughnawagas in fulfilling their mission. Throughout the book, Jackson expresses pride in the contributions of his people, ultimately showcasing their role in a historical context that bridges two worlds.
