About this book
From 10 September to 14 December 1884, General Charles George Gordon kept a daily journal at Khartoum, and this edition prints it from the original manuscripts in six books. A. Egmont Hake supplies the introduction and notes, and Sir Henry W. Gordon adds short pieces on the general's position at Khartoum and on the mission of Colonel Sir Charles Wilson.
The appendices reproduce letters to and from Gordon, including some from the Mahdi, from Slatin Bey and from Major Kitchener, along with a memorandum on the defeat of Hicks's army. The volume, issued in London in 1885, also has a portrait, two maps and thirty illustrations after the general's own sketches.
