Two Kings of Uganda, or Life by the Shores of Victoria Nyanza, Being an Account of a Residence of Six Years in Eastern Equatorial Africa - By Robert Pickering Ashe.
Allowing for the biased lenses of a British missionary, this is a very informative account of Buganda in the period 1883-86. Originally published in 1889, the copy I have is a Second Edition (1971) with a very good introduction by John Rowe, a historian, which is itself a concise overview of that period. Highly recommended.
