Notes & Literature: Sir Henry Morton Stanley GCB (born John Rowlands; 28 January 1841 Ð 10 May 1904) was a Welsh journalist and explorer who was famous for his exploration of central Africa and his search for missionary and explorer David Livingstone. Upon finding Livingstone, Stanley reportedly asked, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"
