About the author
Born in Wales in 1841 as John Rowlands, he later took the name Henry Morton Stanley and built a career as a journalist, explorer, and author. He became internationally famous after being sent to find the missionary David Livingstone and later publishing accounts of his travels.
Stanley went on to lead major expeditions across central Africa, tracing rivers and lakes and writing popular books that brought these journeys to a wide readership. His work made him one of the best-known explorers of his age, and he was eventually knighted.
At the same time, his legacy is deeply complicated. Modern accounts regularly note that his expeditions were tied to the violent history of European colonial expansion in Africa, especially in the Congo, so he is remembered both for his bestselling travel narratives and for the troubling world they helped advance.
