How I Found Livingstone: Travels, Adventures and Discoveries in Central Africa including four months residence with Dr. Livingstone (Hardcover) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781387997374)

This edition of Henry Morton Stanley's epic account of travels through Africa in search of Professor Livingstone includes the original sketches and illustrations of the journey. In the late 1860s, journalist and explorer Henry Morton Stanley was given an assignment to find and relieve the explorer Dr. David Livingstone. The respected doctor had not been in contact with civilization since departing to the wilderness of Africa in 1866, in a quest to discover the source of the River Nile. Henry M. Stanley set off on what became a more than two year trek to find Livingstone. He and his travelling company sojourned over seven hundred miles through the exotic landscapes and forests of rural Africa. The intense, tropical environment claimed the lives of many accompanying porters, while Stanley's horse perished after a deadly bite from a tsetse fly.
