About this book
The Journals of Major-Gen. C. G. Gordon, C.B., at Kartoum is presented as printed from the original manuscripts, with an introduction and notes by A. Egmont Hake. The title page announces a portrait, two maps and thirty illustrations after sketches by General Gordon. The journal writer acknowledges judging people by appearances and small signs without knowing the language, while thinking his suspicions are more often right than wrong.
The journal records an escaped soldier's report that the Mahdi is at Jura Hadra and intends coming to Omdurman. The writer argues that the appearance of a single British soldier or officer would settle the townspeople's question of relief and establish that he had not lied to them.
