From the Preface: “In the following pages an attempt has been made to give some idea of the exploratory work accomplished by the expedition sent out to East Africa in June, 1897, under command of Major (now Colonel) J.R.L. Macdonald, R.E.”
“How this expedition was early confronted with a grave situation in Uganda is perhaps well known; but so many erroneous impressions exist regarding the actual outbreak of hostilities with the Sudanese mutineers that I trust this account of what in reality did take place, as recorded by one who was on the spot at the time, will remove them”.
