The memoirs of the reporter H.M.Stanley, who was sent by an American newspaper to try to find the popular Scottish explorer.

The story appealed to the public, as a gracious and somewhat witty greeting after months of gruelling struggle through the bush.

Like many reports from remote places, which cannot be confirmed or corrected, the story is now considered dubious.

Henry Stanley. He searched the Congo for Dr. Livingstone and when he found him, he said "Dr. Livingstone I presume". Some people think that line is a myth and was never spoken until the retelling of the story.
