Summary "Journal of Herbert Edward Pretyman written during his expedition to the Kittar…" is a historical account penned by Lieutenant Herbert Edward Pretyman of the Grenadier Guards during the early 1890s. This book chronicles his travels and observations during an exploration of the Kittar Mountains, situated between Kenneh on the Nile and the Red Sea. The narrative, highlighting the challenges and experiences encountered in desolate terrains, offers an intimate glimpse into Pretyman's journey as he undertakes this expedition. The journal captures not only the logistical challenges of traveling through the arid landscape but also Pretyman's observations of the wildlife, local people, and the environment. With detailed entries about setting up camp, hunting for game like ibex, and navigating interactions with local officials and Bedouin tribes, the diary provides a vivid description of life in the wilderness. Accompanied by photographs, the narrative reflects on the beauty of the Kittar Mountains and the rustic simplicity of the expedition, whilst simultaneously giving readers insight into the author's personality and the era's attitudes towards exploration and sport. The journal ultimately serves as a tribute to Pretyman's adventurous spirit, marking both his achievements and the poignant nature of his untimely death shortly after the expedition.
