Description

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.
