How I Found Livingstone is written by Sir Henry M. Stanley, G.C.B. Abridged. The language used in this book and the names of the places and individuals have changed significantly since it was first published in 1872. The author was in Madrid when he received a telegram asking me to come to Paris on important business. He lodged with young Edward King, who is making such a name in New England. He followed me to the express train bound for Marseilles, and at the station, we parted. Then, the main character visited the mosques of Stamboul with the Minister Resident of the United States. He dined with the widow of General Liprandi at Odessa. He saw the Arabian traveler Palgrave at Trebizond. He lived with the Russian Ambassador while at Teheran. He has used the word soldiers in this book more often than servants. The armed escort a traveler engages to accompany him into East Africa is composed of free black men, natives of Zanzibar, or freed slaves from the interior. They are armed and equipped like soldiers, though they engage themselves also as servants. Trade Books>Trade Paperback>World History>World Hist>World History, Book Jungle Core >1<

He was a Scottish Presbyterian medical missionary. He was known for his exploration of central Africa. Livingstone was the first European to see Queen Victoria. Falls. As one of the most popular heroes in Victorian England, Livingstone 'rags to riches' story', his daring exploration, and his strong anti-slavery stance made him the source of legend. His fame as an explorer helped drive the obsession to find the source of the Nile. His disappearance and death in Africa led to the founding of several African Christian missions. This work is the account of Stanley's trip to Africa in search of Livingstone., Books<
