| Meer info | The letter starts with his opinion that he cannot believe the fact that Speke and Grant found the Tamarind tree with his name inscribed. The description of the surroundings differ and also the more northern latitude. He then relates the story of his voyage in detail and concludes that Speke took a different track and did not discover the sources of the true Nile, nor does Lake Niger exist. He states that he is supported by a.o. Petermann and Malte-Brun. The Emperor of Austria is willing to help him organize a new expedition, assisted by Ismael Pasha, to solve “cette grande question” definitely. Giovanni Miani (1810-1872) was an Italian explorer of the Nile. See for comments on this letter Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society 1863 and Petermann’s Mitteilungen 1863. |
