Typescript copy of the journal of Alexander Mactier Pirrie., 1906-1907.
Scope and Contents
Alexander Pirrie writes of daily incidents occurring on his two expeditions from Khartoum. The first was up the Nile to the southern regions of Sudan and Bahr-el-Ghazal in November 1906. The second was into the borders of Abyssinia in the early months of 1907. The route of the latter expedition is illustrated by a map (MS.9845) made by the Survey Office in Khartoum after Pirrie's return. The journal is brief and is generally confined to factual accounts of Pirrie's own experiences, such as encounters with wild animals and the onset of fever, although there are a few references in passing to his anthropological research.
