How I Found Livingstone

How I Found Livingstone

Henry M. Stanley

How I Found Livingstone is an autobiographical account by Sir Henry Morton Stanley, published in 1872. The book details Stanley's expedition from Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika in search of the Scottish missionary and explorer Dr. David Livingstone, who had been out of contact with the outside world for several years. Notable for its firsthand perspective on African exploration and encounters with local tribes, the work highlights the challenges and adventures faced during the journey. Stanley's famous quote, 'Dr. Livingstone, I presume?' has become emblematic of the era's exploration narratives.
