About this listen
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.
Henry M. Stanley (1841-1904) was a Welsh journalist and explorer. After doing freelance journalism, he joined the New York Herald and in 1868 accompanied an expedition to Abyssinia. He also visited Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Persia, and India. He is most famous for his exploration of Africa and his search for David Livingstone, whom he met in Tanganyika.

Remarkable
Stumbled across this and decided to have a listen. It wasn’t as dry as I thought it would be! I knew a bit about Livingston, but nothing about him being ‘missing’. This quest to locate him was really quite remarkable. The entourage involved was immense and the conditions terrible. Be prepared for tougher stuff: grisly attacks, slavery and the taking of beautiful animals, but it is what happened at the time, with no sugarcoating. Only thing missing was context on who Livingston was, what he was doing, and how he fell out of contact for so many years. The David Livingston Wikipedia page has an excellent depiction of the two meeting, which was a cool moment.
