Credits and
Copyrights
The 1924 Article was photocopied by Noha Gaber from an original 1924
copy of the National Geographic magazine at the Martin Luther King, Jr.
Library in December 2005. This is the scanned PDF document you can
download from the left sidebar. The article was then OCRed and formatted
by Mohamed Mabrouk in pdf and htm. Noha and Mohamed are both members of
SaharaSafaris.orgIn February 2006 Michael Haag (editor of the new
2006 reprint by AUC Press) has loaned us an authentic 1924 copy of
National Geographic. Mohamed Mabrouk has scanned the pages from
Michael's copy to produce the high quality images used in this website.
The original copy is more than 75 years old and therefore is Public
Domain (no copyrights). The new digital format and its footnotes (pdf
and htm) to be found here are NOT a Public Domain and are, therefore, copyrighted to the Editors of
SaharaSafaris.org.

Why This Effort?
Ahmed Bey Hassanein was a man of the world when the world was changing
very rapidly. His adventure is inspirational for all who like to explore
the Sahara. To understand his motives and methods, it was very useful to
research the contemporary history of Egypt, Britain, Europe, Ottomans
and the Senussis of hit time. I also explored a bit into the history of
exploration of Libyan Desert, and Africa. It was enjoyable. In my spare
time, I managed to make it seem reasonably readable. Some of it is now
placed to share and inspire everybody on SaharaSafaris community's
website www.SaharaSafaris.org.
If you have more questions, you can
email
Mohamed Mabrouk who made the footnotes and research.For more details
on motives behind the research and how it was done, please see the
Why This Site?.
