I am Doctor Livingstone. Presume to ask me anything!

Doctor Livingstone, I presume?


Words allegedly spoken by the British-born explorer Henry Stanley when, in 1871, he finally found the long-missing explorer and missionary David Livingstone in Africa.

1. Doctor Livingston, weren't your "Missionary Travels" really the vanguard

of the British effort to take South Africa from the Boars? Weren't you Doctor Livingston, caught supplying arms to the natives, and encouraging them to fight against the Boars? And wasn't Henry Stanley really there to put together anti-Boar, pro-Britain taking over Africa propaganda?

3. I knew this was a bad idea.

Well, I didn't, but now I do.

4. Sorry to be such a downer on your thread Dr. Livingstone.

But this is a part of history where most people know only the myth of Dr. Livingstone, as presented by the British press of that time.

2. Henry Stanley...

The inspiration for the name of The Stanley Cup.
