Chosen for their unique skills, 400 English- and French-speaking Canadian voyageurs transported imperial forces up the Nile in a daring attempt to rescue "Chinese" Gordon, besieged in Khartoum. A generation later, their imperial work was completed by another Canadian, Sir Percy Girouard, who built the desert railway which enabled Kitchener to capture Khartoum in 1898. Offering fresh insights to the general reader as well as to historians and students, this authoritative work is also a perceptive, exciting, and humorous account of a curious way station along the meandering road to Canadian nationhood.CanadiansSudanHistorySudanHistory1881-1899CanadiansHistory.962.4/03MacLaren Roy1503006MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780544703321Canadians on the Nile, 1882-18983731109UNINA
