An account of the German Central African expedition of 1910-1911" written by Adolf Friedrich Albrecht Heinrich of Mecklenburg-Schweri in 1911 and published by Duckworth. An uncommon set of the expedition to Lake Chad, the Congo, and the Nile in current Sudan, by Adolf Friedrich Albrecht Heinrich of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1873-1969). Duke Adolf Friedrich led two expeditions into central Africa. The 1910-11 expedition, his second, traversed the area between Lake Victoria and Lake Kivu before turning towards the White Nile.
