Fold marks, paper slightly age-toned, one leaf of Gordon's letter with a minor loss in the centre affecting two words (but still readable), otherwise a very good collection of original expedition manuscripts. Historically significant collection of content-rich, original autograph signed letters (three are illustrated with several ink-drawn maps and sketches), providing a fascinating first-hand account of General Charles Gordon's expedition up the White Nile in 1874-1876. Having become the second governor of the Egyptian province of Equatoria after Samuel Baker (1821-1893), Gordon, for three years (February 1874 - October 1876), travelled along the upper reaches of the White Nile and its tributaries. The main purpose of this series of exploratory trips was to expand the authority of Ismail Pasha's Egypt to the entire Nile basin in the Great Lakes region (modern-day Uganda) and to suppress the local slave trade. Gordon travelled as far as Lake Albert and Lake Kyoga, establishing several military posts, including Lardo (Lado), where he moved the provincial capital. He managed to reduce the slave trade in the region but didn't eliminate it, with slave traders continuing to operate in the Bahr el-Gazal basin, Kordofan and east of the Blue Nile. Gordon travelled up the Nile on river steamers, which were dismantled and carried over the jungle to Duffle, to establish transportation to Lake Albert. The collection includes three extensive letters written by Gordon (in all ca. 13,5 pages of text) and vividly describing his travel across the territory of modern-day South Sudan from late August to early September 1874. He went up the White Nile from the mouth of the Sobat (Saubat) River, the northern boundary of Equatoria, to the provincial capital in Gondokoro near modern-day Yuba. Because the more direct route via the Bahr el Zeraf arm of the White Nile was blocked with "sudd" or floating vegetation, Gordon had to go via the longer route up the Bahr el Abiad via its confluence with Bahr el Ghazal. He travelled by steamer, thus becoming the second person to do it after Samuel Baker, who steamed up the White Nile to Gondokoro in 1870. In the letters addressed to his friend Col. Sir Charles Nugent (1827-1899), Gordon talks about his plans, difficulties of moving forward because of floating vegetation and a hippo which damaged his steamer, abolished slaves, confiscated ivory, "pugnacious" ants which infested his steamer, vicious mosquitoes, a crocodile which tried to attack the steamer, mistaking its screw for a fish, deaths of Gordon's companions and servants of fever (most likely, of malaria), intrigues of Egyptian officials, &c. His handwriting sometimes gets worse, and he apologizes for that, blaming his steamer's bumpy movement after the hippo attack. There is also a separate bifolium with a sketch map drawn by Gordon and following the White Nile from Largo (Lado, north of Gondokoro) to Ripon Falls. The map marks the main stations (Rigaf, Bedden, Labue, Makidi, Magungo, Isamba, &c), a part of the Asua River and the northern tips of the Albert and Victoria Lakes. The extensive notes talk about the difference in sea levels of different stations, the distance between them, and the navigability of the river. "Makidi is at head of Falls, and the difference of level between it and the Asua River is (after Baker) 222 ft. in 8 miles, or 27 ft in mile. Magungo is 18 miles from edge of Lake, at Murchinson Falls. 52 miles separate it from Karuma Falls, during which river is sad to be impenetrable, from Karuma to [??] the river is good?" Three letters by a member of Gordon's party, Lt. Charles Watson describe his experiences in Equatoria and Sudan in autumn 1874 - sprint 1875. Watson and his companion Lt. W.H. Chippendale joined Gordon's party in Gondokoro in November 1874 and travelled with him up to Rigaf (Rejaf, south of Juba) but had to return to Cairo in January 1875 due to sickness. Watson's letters provide more details on Gordon's plans, the illness and deaths of his party members and the difficulties with native staff he experienced in Gondokoro. His account of Gordon's expedition with the excellent detailed map of the White Nile from Khartum to Rejaf was published by the Royal Geographical Society (Watson, C.M., Strachan, R. Notes to Accompany a Traverse Survey of the White Nile from Khartum to Rigaf, 1874// The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society of London, Vol. 46 (1876), pp. 412-427). Later Watson took part in the Anglo-Egyptian War (1882) and served in the Egyptian army (1882-1886). He was a member of the Royal Geographical Society since 1875 and the Palestine Exploration fund since 1905 (see more: Obituary: Sir Charles Wilson// The Geographical Journal. Vol. 47, No. 5 (May 1916), pp. 387-389). The recipient of Gordon's letters, Colonel Sir Charles Nugent, served with the Royal Engineers and took part in the Anglo-Egyptian War. He received the Order of the Bath at Windsor Castle from Queen Victoria in November 1882. Overall an important collection of original expedition letters from the famous Gordon Pasha, Governor General of Sudan, killed at the end of the Siege of Khartum (1885), providing a first-hand account of his exploration of the upper reaches of the White Nile in 1874. Excerpts from Gordon's letters: 21 August 1874, Saubat River: " <?> Yesterday two of my boats came down with Ebony belonging to me & £2000 of ivory belonging to the slavers. <?> my gunman went on board &.
