FIRST EDITION. The quest to recover David Livingstone is one of the most famous travel adventures and manhunts in history. By 1870 Livingstone had been missing for long enough that it was generally accepted that he had died somewhere in Central Africa. However James Gordon Bennett proprietor of the “New York Herald†was convinced that Livingstone was still alive and dispatched a richly laden H.M. Stanley to find him. Stanley embarked on his quest on March 12 1871 and after overcoming “innumerable difficulties†he found a discouraged and disheartened Livingstone at Ujiji on November 10. Stanley then uttered the oft-quoted line “Dr. Livingstone I presume†This it is said helped to renew the good doctor’s hope. The two soon set off on an exploration of the north end of Lake Tanganyika and eventually discovered that the Rusizi runs into it and not out of it. Stanley left Livingstone well-provisioned and spiritually inspired on March 15 1872 and came back to England and shortly published this “picturesque narrative†of his experiences helping to secure his reputation as a “leader of men and an explorer of great promise.†<br> Stanley’s travels on this first expedition not only made his literary reputation but also laid the geographical groundwork for his subsequent journey narrated in “Through the Dark Continent†and gave him the tremendous practical experience in African travel that made his third expedition to rescue Emin Pasha narrated in “In Darkest Africa†such a success.
