How I crossed Africa
« on: December 21, 2011, 02:45:57 PM »
Searching the Internet Archive I found the two English volumes of Major Serpa Pinto's 1877-79 expedition across Southern/Central Africa from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. I have the Portuguese version and it's very enjoyable:

I also found these volumes of Roberto Ivens and Hermenegildo Capelo's 1877-80 expedition:

Also found many books of military campaigns in Portuguese. Great stuff.  8)
