| Meer info | "Travels, Adventures, and Discoveries in Central Africa; including an account of Four Months' Residence with Dr. Livingstone". In 1869 Stanley received instructions from the New York Herald to undertake a roving commission in the Middle East, which was to include the relief of Dr. David Livingstone, of whom little had been heard since his departure for Africa in 1866 to search for the source of the Nile. Stanley forced his way through east Africa, disturbed by fighting and stricken by sickness to Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika, Livingstone’s last known port of call. There he found the old hero, ill and short of supplies, and greeted him with the famous words, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume”. Livingstone’s quest ended a year later with his death in the swamps of Lake Bangweulu, still vainly seeking the Nile in a region that in fact gives rise to the Congo River. |
