Description
Stanley Leads Attack on Hostile Tribe, 1888. Henry Morton Stanley (January 28, 1841 - May 10, 1904), was a Welsh journalist and explorer famous for his exploration of Africa and his search for David Livingstone. In 1886, Stanley led the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition to "rescue" Emin Pasha, the governor of Equatoria in the southern Sudan. King Leopold II demanded that Stanley take the longer route, via the Congo river, hoping to acquire more territory and perhaps even Equatoria. After immense hardships and great loss of life, Stanley met Emin in 1888, charted the Ruwenzori Range and Lake Edward, and emerged from the interior with Emin and his surviving followers at the end of 1890.
