Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description: In this book, John Humphries questions whether John Petherick was a slave trader or a victim of conspiracy on the Nile. The source of the Nile had long eluded and tormented explorers, and John Hanning Speke's discovery of Lake Victoria in 1858 elevated him to the pantheon of heroes of African exploration, alongside Livingstone and Stanley. Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description: Yn y cofiant hwn i John Petherick, mae John Humphries yn ystyried y cwestiwn a oedd y fforiwr a'r peiriannydd Cymreig o'r bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg yn fasnachwr caethweision ai peidio, neu a ddylai dderbyn clod am ei gyfraniad at yr ymgyrch i ddarganfod tarddiad yr afon Nîl.
