Book Synopsis
Never-before-published documents from Henry Stanley’s historic 1871 expedition to what is now Tanzania in search of David Livingstone recasts Stanley’s sensationalized narrative with new details about the people involved, their systems of knowledge, commerce, and labor, the natural environment, and the spread of modern colonial powers in Africa.

Trade Review
“Henry Morton Stanley’s expedition in search of David Livingstone is one of the iconic events in the history of African exploration. 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.”
“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 *
