"Expedition to Discover the Sources of the White Nile" by Ferdinand Werne is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work documents Werne's journey as part of an expedition aimed at unveiling the origins of the White Nile during the years 1840 and 1841, focusing on the geographical, cultural, and social observations made during the advent of European exploration in Africa. The opening of this expedition narrative sets the stage with a preface acknowledging the significance and originality of Werne's work. It emphasizes the importance of such explorations for understanding unexplored regions and their local populations. The text details the complexities surrounding the motivations of figures like Mohammed Ali, the Viceroy of Egypt, for undertaking such expeditions, highlighting the undertones of greed and colonialism amidst the scientific endeavors. There is also an introduction to the characters involved in the expedition and a sense of urgency and excitement as the group prepares for their journey, which begins in Khartum, amid political intrigue and the backdrop of slave trade and imperial ambitions.
