Biography
Welsh journalist, politician and explorer who opened Africa. A child born in shame as his mom was unmarried, he became a writer. In May 1871 he began his search for Dr. Livingstone in Africa to report the story. After five months in the untracked jungles, when finding the man, he delivered the famous, anecdotal line, "Dr. Livingstone I presume?" He stayed with Livingstone until March 1872, trying to persuade him to return to civilization. When Livingstone died in 1874, Stanley returned to Africa to carry on his work.
He died 5/10/1904, London, England.
