VOGEL, EDUARD (1829-1856)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 170 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VOGEL, EDUARD (1829-1856) , German traveller in Central Africa, was born at Krefeld on the 7th of
March
  1829. He studied mathematics and astronomy at
Leipzig
  and Berlin, and in 1851 engaged in astronomical
work
  in London. In 1853 he was chosen by the British government to take supplies to Heinrich Barth, then in the western Sudan; and
Vogel
  met Barth at
Kuka
  in Bornu (1854). During 1854 and 1855 he explored the countries round Lake Chad and the upper course of the Benue. On the 1st of December 1855 he left
Kuka
  for the Nile Valley, and nothing further was heard of him. Several
search
  expeditions were organized to ascertain his fate and to recover his papers; it was not until 1873 that Gustav
Nachtigal
  on reaching Wadai learnt that
Vogel
  had been murdered in that country in
February
  1856.
See Erinnerungen an einen Verschollenen (
Leipzig
 , 1863), by Vogel's
sister
 , E. Polko, and Der Afrikaforscher Eduard Vogel (Hamburg, 1889).
