AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a translation of a series of letters from Th. V. Heuglin to Dr. Petermann, first published in 1863. The letters are interesting because they describe some of the earliest travels by Europeans in the Sudan. A summary by Heuglin, of the information on the Azande known to him at the time, has been processed.
