About the author

FH

Friedrich Hornemann

1772–1800

A young German explorer who set out across North Africa in the late 1790s, he became known for one of the earliest modern European crossings of the northeastern Sahara. His surviving journal helped introduce European readers to regions and communities that were still little known to them.
