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.
