Henry M. (Henry Morton) Stanley
Henry Morton Stanley was a Welsh-American journalist and explorer, best known for his exploration of central Africa. He gained fame for finding the missing Scottish missionary David Livingstone in 1871, greeting him with the famous phrase, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" Stanley later undertook several expeditions in Africa, contributing to European knowledge of the Congo region and playing a key role in its colonization. His most notable works include "How I Found Livingstone" and "Through the Dark Continent," which detailed his adventures and discoveries.
