Editorial Reviews: Sir Henry Stanley is best 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 developing American government.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Entertaining Comment: 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. More Reviews
