Hayes is a historical travelogue written in the early 20th century. This account chronicles the author's journey through Sudan to Lake Tsana in Abyssinia (modern Ethiopia), offering insights into the geographical and cultural landscape encountered along the way. The narrative likely delves into themes of exploration, adventure, and the political dynamics of the regions involved. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Hayes during his time as a Medical Inspector in Alexandria in 1902. It details his unexpected appointment to an expedition heading to Abyssinia, where he must quickly prepare for the journey. As he describes the desolate yet fascinating landscape of Sudan, Hayes shares vivid observations of the environment, including the challenges of traversing through the harsh terrain on camels and the cultural interactions with local communities. The tone blends humor and seriousness as he recounts the camaraderie and trials faced by the expedition members, painting a rich tableau of life on the journey towards the source of the Blue Nile.
