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.
Henry Morton Stanley GCB (1841-1904), became well-known for his encounter with missionary David Livingstone in 1871. Through his memories, we see how his difficult upbringing-an underprivileged childhood spent in a workhouse and some terrifying events as a young soldier-was what inspired him to become a successful explorer and gave him the resolve to face the occasionally vehement opposition he faced. The Welsh-American explorer, journalist, soldier, colonial administrator, author, and politician Sir Henry Morton Stanley GCB (born John Rowlands; 28 January 1841 - 10 May 1904) is best known for in search of missionary and explorer David Livingstone, who he later claimed to have met and greeted with the now-famous words: "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" The false assumption that he was American hurt his reputation in Britain at the time. His involvement in the creation of the Congo Free State for King Leopold II in the 20th century also did significant damage to his reputation. John Rowlands gave birth to Henry Stanley in Denbigh, Denbighshire, Wales. When he was born, his mother Elizabeth Parry was 18 years old. She cut off all contact when he was a very little infant and abandoned him.
