Stanley and Livingstone and The opening of Africa with 34 source annotated bibliography
Henry Morton Stanley is most famous for saying the words "Dr. Livingstone I presume?" when in 1871 he finally found Dr. David Livingstone in western Tanzania. Stanley was born John Rowlands in 1840 in Wales. His childhood was poor and deprived with both parents deserting him and leaving him to grow up in relatives'homes or institutions. He was constantly rejected and beaten which toughened him up but also made him look for admiration and affection. At the age of sixteen he went to New Orleans on a ship which he considered a nightmare to live on. He eventually met a man named Henry Morton Stanley who helped him get a job and took care of John and was practically like a father to John. After a few years he served in the Civil War. By now John Rowlands had changed his name to Henry Morton Stanley. He took a job with the New York Herald and was sent to Africa as a correspondent. He was then sent around the Mediterranean and then to Great Britain. In Britain he was given the orders to find the missionary Dr. Livingstone in Africa.David Livingstone showed his perseverance and resilience from the start where as a ten-year old he was put to work in the cotton mills near Glasgow, Scotland. Unlike the other children who oft
en died or grew up illiterate, he taught himself by reading books until he reached medical school in 1838 where he trained to become a doctor around the age of 25. Fage, J.D., and Roland Oliver. A Short History of Africa. New York: Facts on File. 1988.
