520 _a"Stanley's Emin Pasha expedition" by A.-J. Wauters is a historical account written in the late 19th century. It narrates Henry M. Stanley’s mission to relieve Emin Pasha in Equatorial Africa, framing it within the Mahdist revolt and the collapse of Egyptian power in the Sudan. The work combines political and military history with geography and ethnography, following routes via the Congo and Nile and profiling key actors such as Gordon, Lupton, Emin, and Junker. The opening of the volume surveys the Mahdist uprising’s disruption of the Sudan and explains how isolated garrisons and explorers—especially Junker, Emin, and Casati—became cut off in the interior. It recounts Khartoum’s growth and misrule, the early Nile explorations by Speke, Grant, and Baker, and the rise of the ivory–slave “zeribas” exposed by Schweinfurth. The narrative then traces Gordon’s reforming tenure, Gessi’s campaigns against slave raiders, and the vast scope of the Egyptian Sudan before turning to the Mahdi’s victories, Hicks’s defeat, Osman Digna’s ascendancy, Gordon’s return to Khartoum, the siege, Wolseley’s delayed relief, and Gordon’s death. Next, it sketches the Bahr-el-Ghazal and Equatorial Provinces—their rivers, stations, and peoples (Bongo, Denka, Bari, Lattuka, Makraka, Madi)—and profiles Lupton Bey and Emin Bey’s administrations. It closes this opening section by introducing Junker and Casati’s work on the Welle system and their encounters among the Niam-Niam (Azande), setting the geographical stage for Stanley’s later advance.
