Product Description
Sir Henry Stanley is most known for his expeditions and explorations in Africa. However, as a journalist he spent much time in other continents before his famous search for Livingstone. In this gripping volume, he writes poignantly about his journeys to the US and particularly about the horrendous fate the Indians suffered at the hands of the American state.

Entertaining May 3, 2008
Monette L. Bebow Reinhard (Wisconsin)
This Stanley fellow had a great love and respect for adventure (Dr. Livingston, I presume?) but also a very colorful way of talking (former newspaperman) who seemed not to know the difference between a real story and embellishment. I didn't expect that everything he wrote could be taken at face value, and of course, in reading, you have to remember that he slants with his viewpoint. But in all, this presents a very interesting portrait of the Congo in the late 1800s.
