Florence Baker was already a veteran of African travel when she set out from Khartoum in January 1870 with her husband, Sir Samuel Baker, on his expedition to put down the slave trade on the White Nile. From Florence Baker's unpublished diary of the expedition and her letters home, coupled with the account in Samuel Baker's journals and the diary of his nephew Julian, Anne Baker has created a sensitive portrait of this courageous woman who was known to the Africans as Myadue-- the Morning Star.
