«How I Found Livingstone in Central Africa» is Henry M. Stanley's travel account, published by Dover Publications in paperback (640 pages, in English).
Stanley recounts in the first person the expedition commissioned by The New York Herald to find the missionary and explorer David Livingstone, of whom there had been no news in Central Africa. Amid fevers, hostilities, tribal conflicts and impenetrable jungles, the author also describes African peoples and the difficulties of the journey.
This edition is a reprint of the work originally published in 1871 and includes a map.
For readers interested in the history of African exploration, 19th-century travel accounts and the figure of David Livingstone.
Sir Henry Morton Stanley was a Welsh-American explorer, journalist, soldier, colonial administrator, author, and politician famous for his exploration of Central Africa and search for missionary and explorer David Livingstone. Besides his discovery of Livingstone, he is mainly known for his search for the sources of the Nile and Congo rivers, the work he undertook as an agent of King Leopold II of the Belgians that enabled the occupation of the Congo Basin region, and his command of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition. He was knighted in 1897, and served in Parliament as a Liberal Unionist member for Lambeth North from 1895 to 1900.
