Summary "Life in the Soudan" by Josiah Williams is a travel memoir written in the late 19th century. This narrative details the author's expedition across the Soudan and his related travels in Egypt, covering the experiences and adventures encountered among the various tribes and cultures during that time. The author serves as the medical officer for a traveling party, bringing a unique perspective on both the geographic and social landscape of Sudan during an era of exploration. At the start of the book, Williams prepares for his departure from England to the Soudan in 1881, ensuring that he has a well-stocked medicine chest for his medical duties amid expected tropical ailments. He recounts amusing and insightful interactions during his travels through Italy, leading up to his journey to Alexandria. Williams vividly describes trips through historic locales, cultural observations, and his initial encounters with various people during his travels, setting a rich backdrop for the more adventurous narratives that are to come as he embarks on his journey into the heart of the Soudan.
