What Led to the Discovery of the Source of the Nile
It was in the year 1849 at the expiration of the Punjaub campaign under Lord Gough where I had been actively engaged as a subaltern officer in the (so-called) fighting brigade of General Sir Colin Campbell's division of the army adding my mite to the four successive victorious actions-Ramnugger Sadoolapore Chillianwallah and Guzerat-that I first conceived the idea of exploring Central Equatorial Africa.

Interesting to read Speke's side of the Mile question.
Fairly readable overall.
He seems to mostly restrain himself from taking "shots" at Richard Burton.
