Description

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. As an extra, Preston Speed Publications has included in this volume one of Mr. Henty's special despatches.
