Mathilde Leduc-Grimaldi and James L. Newman transcribed and annotated the entirety of Stanley s documentation available in the Stanley Archives held in trust at the RMCA on behalf of the KBF. For the first time in print, a broader narrative of Stanley s journey is now accessible that includes never-before-seen primary source documents worker contracts, vernacular plant names, maps, ruminations on life, correspondence, lines of poetry, bills of lading all scribbled in his field notebooks. Finding Dr. Livingstone is a crucial resource for those interested in exploration and colonization in the Victorian era, the scientific knowledge of the time, and the peoples and conditions of Tanzania prior to its colonization by Germany.
