Mr Stanley, I Presume?: The Life and Explorations of Henry Morton Stanley
Alan Gallop
A major new biography of a cult figure in history, covering Stanley's early life in Wales, his
adventurous life in America, and his explorations. It is a rag-to-riches story of an orphan who took on the English establishment, only to join its ranks. Famous for having found the great missionary and explorer Dr David Livingstone on the shores of Lake Tanganyika and immortalised as the utterer of perhaps the four most often quoted words of greeting of all time - 'Dr Livingstone, I presume?' - Henry Morton Stanley was himself a man who characterised the great wave of exploring fever that gripped the nineteenth century.
