Description

In the records of British history there is no more captivating page for boys than the story of the Nile campaign, and the attempt to rescue General Gordon. For, in the difficulties which the expedition encountered, in the perils involved, and in its final tragic disappointments, are found all the excitements possible.

The story of two English lads who accompany the expedition to rescue General Gordon from the besieged city of Khartoum in the Sudan. Henty in this case has composed a story around an event which occurred during his lifetime, and of which he had significant personal knowledge, as you will read in our special foreword by Mrs. Ann King. Henty, Wolseley, and Gordon were contemporaries and Henty himself had been in the area twenty years prior to the event depicted in this story as a correspondent for the Standard.
