Yet what we knew about the expedition came mainly from Stanley’s sensationalist published account. A far more complicated picture emerges from his original field notes and journals, which are brought to light at last in this superbly edited volume.” - Dane Kennedy, author of The Last Blank Spaces: Exploring Africa and Australia “An invaluable resource of original documents … an extraordinary work of meticulous and detailed research and scholarship that is especially and unreservedly recommended as a core addition to personal, professional, community college, and university libraries [and] reading lists.” (Midwest Book Review)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis eye-opening perspective on Stanley's expedition reveals new details about the Victorian explorer and his African crew on the brink of the colonial Scramble for Africa.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1871, Welsh American journalist Henry M. Stanley traveled to Zanzibar in search of the \"missing\" Scottish explorer and missionary David Livingstone. A year later, Stanley emerged to announce that he had \"found\" and met with Livingstone on Lake Tanganyika. His alleged utterance there, \"Dr. Livingstone, I presume,\" was one of the most famous phrases of the nineteenth century, and Stanley's book, \u003ci\u003eHow I Found Livingstone\u003c\/i\u003e, became an international bestseller.\u003cbr\u003e In this fascinating volume Mathilde Leduc-Grimaldi and James L. Newman transcribe and annotate the entirety of Stanley's documentation, making available for the first time in print a broader narrative of Stanley's journey that includes never-before-seen primary source documents—worker contracts, vernacular plant names, maps, ruminations on life, lines of poetry, bills of lading—all scribbled in his field notebooks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFinding Dr. Livingstone\u003c\/i\u003e is a crucial resource for those interested in exploration and colonization in the Victorian era, the scientific knowledge of the time, and the peoples and conditions of Tanzania prior to its colonization by Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Foreword (G.
