Description

This book is about Henry Solomon Wellcome, an American drug manufacturer, later naturalized British subject, who had a fascinating association with Sudan. Besides supporting tropical medicine research in this country, he established an extensive project in Sudan that combined archeological excavations, philanthropy, and social reform. The book starts with Wellcome's early years in the American Midwest, his career's evolution, and his rise as a world-renowned drug manufacturer. Wellcome visited Sudan in 1900 - 1901, where he offered to support the establishment of the research laboratories, which later came to be known as the Wellcome Tropical Research Laboratories in Khartoum. These laboratories had a profound effect on the development of Sudan and on Research and training in tropical medicine at the global level. He also became directly involved in the planning and running of extensive archeological excavations in central Sudan. This project served as a field in which Wellcome found an outlet for his philanthropy. More than 4000 laborers were employed in Jebel Moya. Wellcome recruited professional archeologists and anatomists to supervise the work, and all the requirements in terms of equipment were catered for. Wellcome devised a Savings Bank System whereby part of the earnings of each laborer was saved to him till the end of the season. He also introduced one of his innovations: aerial photography using box kites used for the first time in archeology. Wellcome made it a rule that no applicant should be turned away. The Camp Commandant had to find suitable work for each applicant, including the disabled, assigned to appropriate jobs like mending baskets or cutting grass for building huts. Wellcome's welfare work had a significant impact on the local inhabitants of Jebel Moya.
