Stanley and Livingstone 1871


March 21 is the 138th anniversary of Henry Stanley's setting out to Africa to locate the missing expedition of Dr. David Livingstone, on the continent since 1865.
Livingstone had been hunting the Nile's source and also working toward the
abolition of African slavery.
Journalist
Stanley's quest resulted in the famous quote:

"Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"
