Synopsis

Excerpt from The History and Distribution of Sorghum

Little light can be thrown on the early history of sorghum in India. The Roman historian Pliny records the introduction of sorghum into Italy by caravans from India during the first century. How much longer it had been cultivated in India is not certain, nor can we be entirely sure that the record of the Roman historian is correct. Cara vans coming from India. Then, as now, passed through Upper Egypt.
