How I Found Livingstone is written by Sir Henry M. Stanley, G.C.B. Abridged. The language used in this book and the names of the places and individuals have changed significantly since it was first published in 1872. The author was in Madrid when he received a telegram asking me to come to Paris on important business. He lodged with young Edward King, who is making such a name in New England. He followed me to the express train bound for Marseilles, and at the station, we parted. Then, the main character visited the mosques of Stamboul with the Minister Resident of the United States. He dined with the widow of General Liprandi at Odessa. He saw the Arabian traveler Palgrave at Trebizond. He lived with the Russian Ambassador while at Teheran. He has used the word "soldiers" in this book more often than "servants". The armed escort a traveler engages to accompany him into East Africa is composed of free black men, natives of Zanzibar, or freed slaves from the interior. They are armed and equipped like soldiers, though they engage themselves also as servants.

Den 10. november 1871 stod den engelske journalist Henry M. Stanley endelig over for den verdensberømte opdagelsesrejsende dr. David Livingstone ved Tanganyikasøen dybt inde i hjertet af Afrika.Dette historiske møde var højdepunktet på Stanleys lange og farefulde rejse ind på det afrikanske kontinent, der for europæere i slutningen af det 19. århundrede mest af alt var hvide pletter på et landkort. På hans færd afslørede det sig som et fantastisk, tropisk vildnis fuldt af dødbringende sygdomme, fjendtlige indfødte og fremmedhed.Otte måneder tidligere var Stanley blevet sendt af sted af den amerikanske avis the New York Herald for at finde frem til den forsvundne opdagelsesrejsende og forhåbentlig en god historie. Det gik bedre end hans redaktør kunne have håbet på, for i dag er Stanleys rejseberetning en udødelig klassiker inden for genren og har sikret ham en plads som en af de mest talentfulde historiefortællere om rejser og opdagelser på det afrikanske kontinent."Hvordan jeg fandt Livingstone" udkom første gang på dansk i 1873 og foreligger nu i en nyoversat og udvidet udgave.
