Born in England in 1827, John Hanning Speke ranks among the great nineteenth-century explorers of Africa. He is credited with the 1858 discovery of Lake Victoria in East Africa, one of the long-sought sources of the Nile. Because his claim was at first disputed, he undertook another expedition, with Captain James Grant, to confirm his original conclusion.Speke, John Hanning is the author of 'Journal of the Discovery of the Source of the Nile', published 2007 under ISBN 9781556351914 and ISBN 1556351917.
