Book Overview

The Highlands of Ethiopia is a travelogue written by William Cornwallis Harris in 1846. It is an account of his journey through the highlands of Ethiopia, which was then known as Abyssinia. Harris was a British military officer and explorer who was sent on a mission to explore the region and gather information about its people, culture, and geography. The book provides a detailed description of the landscape, flora, and fauna of the region, as well as the customs and traditions of the local people. Harris also describes his encounters with various tribes and rulers, including the legendary Emperor Tewodros II, who was known for his resistance against British colonialism. The Highlands of Ethiopia is an important historical document that provides insights into the colonial mindset of the British during the 19th century, as well as the complex political and cultural dynamics of Ethiopia at the time. The book is also notable for its vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of the region, which has since become a popular destination for tourists and adventurers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
