Dear Cyrus! No one should read the above account until they have read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Baker

Maybe some good will come from "knowing?"

PS, I wonder why you do not notify the reader of the background of the author? You know, as well as I, that most users of this site are "blind?" That is they do not either use their search engines to find out real information, but most of them are rather lazy! If I insulted anyone by the above sentence then they or you deserve it!

These threads about eBooks are posted here for these reasons, people who know something about this book and its author, publisher and other things, post their comments and reviews here and others use them.
 
Meanwhile don't trust just in what you find in search engines and especially in Wikipedia, a large number of facts can never be found there.
