unidentified, although there is one of "late Governor Reginald Wingate and another of "Ex-President Roosevelt's carriage."
Sources indicate that former President Theodore Roosevelt gave a lecture at the American Mission in Khartoum in 1910 (instructing
"the native officers on their duty to uphold British law") during his African travels and safari. During this time period
Sudan, under joint Egyptian-British rule, was a de facto British colony. Someone using an instrument described as a theodolite
