From Entotto to the River Baro

Unique and detailed first-hand account of Ethiopia in 1896-97 -- at the change of an era -- by a Russian officer with remarkable understanding for the many varied people who lived there and keen insight into their destiny. According to a review in "Old Africa": "Despite its bland title, this is the most important book on the history of eastern Africa to have been published for a century. And it was written over a century ago!" According to Wikipedia: "Alexander Ksaverievich Bulatovich tonsured Father Antony 26 September 1870 - 5 December 1919) was a Russian military officer, explorer of Africa, writer, hieromonk and the leader of imiaslavie movement in Eastern Orthodox Christianity."
