Dr. David Livingston grows up in abject poverty in Scotland, working 12 hour days in a cotton mill as a boy of ten. But his father, a Sunday school teacher, encourages his educational progress and his Christian devotion, the latter influenced by the American revivalist minister, Charles Finney, an ardent opponent of slavery. He studies medicine and becomes a minister before sailing in 1841 to South Africa as a missionary. Over the next three decades he becomes famous for traversing the continent, caring for the natives and trying to combat the slave trade. His final expedition begins in 1866 and he quickly loses all contact with western civilization. In 1871 a reporter for the New York Herald, Henry Morton Stanley, finds him alive along the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika, greeting him with the famous line, “Dr. Livingston, I presume.” He dies in Africa in 1873 and is buried in Westminster Abbey.

Henry Morton Stanley, likely a made-up name, survives after being abandoned as a child in Wales, and makes his way to New Orleans in 1859 at age eighteen. He is swept up into the Confederate Army when the war breaks out and fights at the Battle of Shiloh, where, after being captured, he enlists in the Union Army for eighteen days before being discharged. He decides to become a reporter and joins The New York Herald in 1868 as a foreign correspondent. As such he journeys to Africa to solve the mysterious disappearance of the missionary, David Livingston. He is accompanied by a young slave boy he adopts named Kalulu (shown in the photograph) and is later knighted for locating the Doctor and for his subsequent adventures in Africa.
