Excerpt from My Early Travels and Adventures in America and AsiaFrom the letters in the first volume, it may be gathered what this portion of the United States Nebraska, Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas was like in 1867. It was chieﬂy an ocean of prairie untenanted by the white man, except at the Forts. It was one vast pasture plain, trodden by buffaloes, and ranged over by thousands of audaciously hostile Indians. It is now intersected by railways - as many as nine lines cross Kansas - the buffaloes have been exterminated, the Indians are rare visitants, and may be said to have disappeared; and over their hunting-grounds, about which they were so anxious and appealed so passionately, there are scattered orderly and law-abiding white citizens.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In Darkest Africa, Vol. 1 of 2: Or the Quest, Rescue, and Retreat of Emin, Governor of Equatoria (Classic Reprint)

[Read by James Adams] This riveting history is a firsthand account of the long and arduous search for one of the greatest explorers of the nineteenth 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.

American journalist and adventurer, Henry M. Stanley recounts his mission in 1871, (on behalf of the New York Herald), to find the world famous explorer David Livingstone, who was presumably lost or even killed in East Africa. In his diary Stanley writes with stoicism, and without magnifying the epic hardships of the journey, (he was deserted by his bearers, plagued by disease and warring tribes). After travelling 700 miles in 236 days, he found the ailing Scottish missionary on the island of Ujiji on November 10, uttering his famous greeting: "Doctor Livingstone, I presume!" Together they explored the northern end of Lake Tangayika. Livingstone had journeyed extensively in central and southern Africa from 1840 and fought to destroy the slave trade. Livingstone died in 1873 on the Shores of Lake Bagweulu. His body was shipped back to England and buried in Westminster Abbey. On hearing of his hero's death, Stanley continued Livingstone's research of the region. Stanley's exploration of the region eventually led to the founding of the Congo Free State.

How I Found Livingstone

CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform

I had heard from passing caravans so many extremely favourable reports respecting Ugogo and its productions that it appeared to me a very Land of Promise, and I was most anxious to refresh my jaded stomach with some of the precious esculents raised in Ugogo... -from Chapter V  "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" Such was the greeting of Henry Stanley upon finding David Livingstone in deepest Africa... if we're to believe Stanley's own retelling of the event.   In 1869, the New York Herald newspaper assigned Stanley, one of its overseas correspondents, to search for Livingstone, a Scottish missionary and explorer presumed lost on the Dark Continent, and Stanley, appearing to appreciate full well that his expedition was history in the making, made certain to solidify his own legend with this bombastic, romanticized, and thoroughly rip-roaring chronicle.   From his entourage fit for royalty-the 2,000 porters were all paid for via his Herald expense account-to his daring exploits to find the source of the Nile with Livingstone in tow, this is armchair adventure at its most exciting. Even if it may not all be entirely true.  Journalist and adventurer SIR HENRY MORTON STANLEY (1841-1904) was born in Wales, emigrated to the United States as a young man, and returned to England late in life. He served as a Member of Parliament from 1895 to 1900.
