He went up the Nile with his wife, no permission, and found a lake. Samuel Baker pushed into central Africa in the 1860s hunting the river's source, and came back with the Albert Nyanza, an obsession with the slave trade, and a considerable reputation. A Victorian explorer's Africa at full volume: the marshes, the fevers, the chiefs, the guns.
