EDITORS COMMENTS
Captain Angus Buchanan: A Daring Explorer in the Sahara Desert (circa 1922) This evocative photograph captures the intrepid spirit of Captain Angus Buchanan as he rides atop a camel in the heart of Mesopotamia during his groundbreaking expedition through the Sahara Desert in 1922. Buchanan, a seasoned explorer and adventurer, had previously led an expedition into the Sahara in 1919-1920. In early 1922, Buchanan embarked on another daring journey, this time with a team of 32 men and 150 camels. Their mission was to traverse the 3500-mile expanse of the Sahara Desert, starting in Kano, Nigeria, and ending in Tougourt, Algeria. The expedition was meticulously documented in the film 'Crossing the Great Sahara,' which offers a fascinating glimpse into the harsh realities and breathtaking beauty of the Sahara. Buchanan's courage and determination were essential to the success of this ambitious endeavor. The expedition faced numerous challenges, including extreme temperatures, limited water supplies, and treacherous terrain. Yet, Buchanan and his team persevered, making invaluable discoveries and contributing significantly to the understanding of the Sahel region of the Sahara. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of adventure and exploration that defined Captain Angus Buchanan's career. His daring expeditions into the uncharted territories of the Sahara Desert continue to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the rich history of North Africa.
