The Great Nile Debate

Isabelle: Let's talk about the relationship that he had with speak after these expeditions so speak is sort of isolated himself from the Royal Geographical Society which sounds to me a little bit like refusing to sit down for a presidential portrait right right I mean who would do that? So he's isolated himself and Burton doesn't have the next great adventure do their lives intersect at any time before they both die after that they do just briefly so they don't see each other. They're going to debate at this big conference in Bath how would one debate the source of the Nile if you don't have photographic evidence or any kind of evidence really well it made it so difficult and painful and stressful
