Book excerpt: The story of the English in Kenya began in 1883 when the Scottish explorer Joseph Thomson reached the shores of Lake Victoria, discovering Mount Kenya on the way. It continued with the building of the Monbassa railway; the settling of the White Highlands; and the Mau Mau emergency. Mau Mau was destroyed, but within a few years Kenya became independent under the premiership of Kenyatta. However, the late Kenyatta's plea for tolerance has been heeded and today Kenya has a truly multi-racial society.
