BARTTELOT, Edmund Musgrave.

Journal et correspondance du major Edmund Musgrave Barttelot, commandant l'Arrière-colonne dans l'expédition Stanley a la recherche et au secours d'Emin Pacha, publiés par Walter George Barttelot.

Paris, E. Plon, Nourrit et Cie, 1891.Sm.8vo. Contemporary half blue morocco, spine gilt. With 2 folding maps. 361 pp.According to Walter Barttelot, Stanley's book, 'In darkest Africa'' (London 1890), proved misleading on so many points that it became necessary to warn the public of its character. He therefore collected and arranged the letters and diary of his brother and laid before the public an outline of the charges made against Major Barttelot. Edmund Musgrave Barttelot (1859-1888) was a British Army officer, who became notorious after his allegedly brutal and deranged behaviour during his disastrous command of the rear column left in the Congo during H. M. Stanley's Emin Pasha Relief Expedition. Hess & Coger 184.
