Note: Sir Henry Morton Stanley, 1841–1904, an Anglo-American journalist and empire builder, was born in Denbigh, Wales. Originally named John Rowlands, he took the name of his adoptive father in New Orleans, where Stanley went in 1857. After fighting on both sides in the American Civil War, he drifted into journalism. His coverage of Lord Napier's Ethiopian campaign in 1868 for the New York Herald won him journalistic fame, and the Herald commissioned him to go to Africa to find David Livingstone. Stanley located the great explorer on Lake Tanganyika on Nov. 10, 1871, addressing him with the famous words, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?” Failing to persuade Livingstone to leave Africa, Stanley returned to England with the news of his discovery. 
EXP 010
EXP 010He found a mixed reception in England, where Livingstone's backers criticized Stanley's efforts and methods. Nevertheless, Stanley led a second expedition (1874–77), sponsored by newspapers, to further Livingstone's explorations. He followed the Congo River from its source to the sea, but he found the British uninterested in developing the region.
Stanley then accepted the invitation of Leopold II of Belgium to head another expedition. During this third journey (1879–84) he helped to organize the notorious Congo Free State, largely by persuading local chiefs to grant sovereignty over their land to the Belgian king. At the Berlin Conference (1884–85) he was instrumental in obtaining American support for Leopold's Congo venture. His last African journey (1887–89),
EXP 010 to find Emin Pasha, helped to put Uganda into the British sphere of influence. A naturalized U.S. citizen, Stanley again became a British subject in 1892, sat in Parliament (1895–1900), and was knighted (1899). His spirited and often self-aggrandizing accounts of his adventures include How I Found Livingstone (1872), Through the Dark Continent (2 vol., 1878), In Darkest Africa (2 vol., 1890), and The Exploration Diaries of H. M. Stanley (ed. by R. Stanley and A. Neame, 1961). A British and American hero for about a century, Stanley has fared poorly in recent histories, which have revealed instances of his lying about events in his life, duplicity in some of his dealings, and many acts of brutality to Africans.
