History

This riveting history is a firsthand account of the long and arduous search for one of the greatest explorers of the nineteenth century. Journalist and adventurer Henry M. Stanley was known for his search for the legendary David Livingstone, and their eventual meeting led to the popular quotation “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?”

A real-life adventure story, How I Found Livingstone in Central Africa tells of the incredible hardships—disease, hostile natives, tribal warfare, impenetrable jungles, and other obstacles—faced by a daring explorer. This must-have account also includes a wealth of information on various African peoples.
