	John Hanning Speke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Hanning Speke (May 4, 1827 – September 15, 1864) was an officer in the British Indian army, who made three voyages of exploration to Africa.
		Burton was embittered, because Speke declared Lake Victoria to be the Nile's source, whereas Burton believed Lake Tanganyika to be so, and because Speke had by then already been chosen to lead an expedition to further clarify the issue.
		Speke's voyage did not resolve the issue, Burton claimed that because Speke had not followed the Nile from the place it flowed out of Lake Victoria to Gondokoro, he could not be sure they were the same river.

	Speke's Journal, reviewed by Sean Redmond
		Speke had planned to go shooting in the Caucasus, but he and Burton set out in June 1857 to investigate the truth about the Tanganyika, a reportedly huge lake in central Africa and perhaps the long-sought source of the Nile.
		Because Speke wants to show his influence on the personalities around him, we get much better pictures of his fellow travelers and of the people he meets than in the writings of the misanthropic Burton.
		Speke's account of their "paganism" is equally careless, and what religion he could discern is taken only as evidence of their fall from grace.

		But as Speke had not been able to follow the Nile the whole way from the Victoria Nyanza to Gondokoro, and as the part played in the Nile regime by the Albert Nyanza was then unknown, Burton and others remained unconvinced, and Speke's conclusions were criticized in The Nile See also:

	John Hanning Speke - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
		John Hanning Speke (nacido el 4 de mayo de 1827 y muerto el 15 de septiembre de 1864) fue un oficial del ejército británico indio quien hizo tres viajes entre 1857 y 1858 a África con Richard Francis Burton en busca de las fuentes del río Nilo, señalando al lago Victoria como origen.
		La discusión con Burton se originó a raíz de que Burton creía que nacía (El Nilo) en otro lago, pero Speke le dijo que no podía ser porque ese lago estaba por debajo del nivel más bajo del río y que el agua no podría subir.
