In Darkest Africa
by Stanley, Henry M
In Darkest Africa (1890) is Henry
M. Stanley’s own account of his last adventure on the African continent. At the
turn of that century, the interior of the African continent was largely unknown
to the American and European public. With the accounts of great explorers like Stanley,
readers became thrilled by stories African expeditions and longed to follow in
the footsteps of these explorers. In 1888, Stanley led an expedition to come to
the aid of Mehmed Emin Pasha. The two volumes that compose In Darkest Africa;
or, The Quest, Rescue, and Retreat of Emin, Governor of Equatoria are his
account of what happened.
