| Summary |
"The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan: a compendium prepared by officers of the Sudan Government" is a detailed scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This volume is specifically focused on the various routes within the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, presented through the collaborative efforts of officers knowledgeable in the region. It serves as a manual for travelers, military personnel, and researchers interested in navigating the complex terrain of Sudan. The opening of the compendium sets the stage for its focus on practical route planning and descriptions essential for traversing the region. It begins with an editorial note that outlines the organization of the volume, referencing its predecessor while highlighting the preeminent routes available in the area. The initial chapters provide descriptions and logistical details of significant routes, such as the road from No. 6 Station to Deraheib, discussing various geographical features, water availability, and the nature of the terrain to assist travelers in their expeditions. The text emphasizes the challenges posed by the environment while also providing contextual notes about the local wildlife and settlements. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
