Publisher's Summary
This riveting history is a firsthand account of the long and arduous search for one of the greatest explorers of the 19th 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.

Stanley's detailed account of his journey to find Dr Livingston. Really good African adventure.
Was interesting to hear how before this journey to find the Dr he was tasked to travel all over the Middle East and India to report on events there. And even write a tourists guide to Egypt. Only after that was he ok to head into what is now Tanzania with the budget of $1000 a month.
