In 1871, journalist Henry Morton Stanley begins his famous search through Africa for the missing British explorer Dr. David Livingstone. &quot;Stanley in Africa&quot; is an extremely detailed account of Stanley&#39;s explorations in the mysterious continent. Of course, the book includes the time when he met David Livingstone and uttered those immortal words: &#39;Dr. Livingstone, I presume?&#39;<br /><br />In the late 19th century, Europeans and Americans were deeply fascinated by the &ldquo;Dark Continent&rdquo; of Africa and its many mysteries. Hence, &quot;Stanley in Africa&quot;, originally published in 1889 by&nbsp;James P.&nbsp;Boyd, became an instant success.
