"From the Cape to Cairo: The First Traverse of Africa from South to North" by Ewart S. Grogan and Arthur H. Sharp is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book documents the pioneering journey that traversed the African continent from its southernmost point at Cape Town to its northern point at Cairo, showcasing the authors' adventures and challenges along the way. It explores themes of exploration, colonization, and the diverse landscapes and cultures encountered throughout the travels. At the start of the narrative, Grogan reflects on his previous experiences in Africa, setting the stage for the current expedition. He recounts his journey to Buluwayo, highlighting the harsh conditions faced during travel, the unsophisticated means of transport, and the eccentricities he observed among fellow travelers. The opening chapters vividly describe the terrain, the unique wildlife, and the native populations, painting a picture of a land filled with both natural beauty and untold difficulties. He provides a sense of humor and reflection on colonial ambitions, seamlessly blending adventure with commentary on the socio-political context of his time, all while preparing to embark on their monumental trek.
