Stanley worked on the Autobiography for many years but died before it was completed. According to the DNB "Stanley's contribution to the history of African exploration remains a matter of contention. On the one hand he is generally acknowledged to have settled many of the long-running controversies over the sources of the Nile and the geography of the great lakes. On the other hand the style of his expedition-making marked a new phase in the history of exploration virtually erasing the distinction between geography and warfare.Throughout his life Stanley was in every way a masterful story-teller.His enormous drive won him notoriety as well as fame though he defended his life's record to the very last: 'I was not sent into this world to be happy nor to search for happiness. I was sent for a special work'." Greenwood Press hardcover books
