Book Overview

From The Cape To Cairo: The First Traverse Of Africa From South To North is a travelogue written by Ewart S. Grogan, an adventurer who completed the first-ever journey from the southernmost point of Africa to the northernmost point. The book details Grogan's journey, which began in 1898 and took him over two years to complete. He traveled through various African countries, encountering different cultures, languages, and landscapes along the way. The book describes Grogan's encounters with wild animals, hostile tribes, and the challenges he faced while crossing vast deserts and treacherous rivers.
