A series of ten programmes.
Driven by ambition and greed; or in quest of prestige and glory; or searching for a unique brand of personal fulfilment; they deserted their homelands to make journeys never before achieved.
Episode 3: The Story of Henry Morton Stanley who trekked across Africa in the three years 1874-1877 to chart the course of a river.
Written by JESSE LASKY jr and PAT SILVER
Introduced and narrated by David Attenborough from the Royal Geographical Society, London
H. M. STANLEY was born illegitimate and brought up in a Welsh workhouse and became world-famous for his discovery of Livingstone in Africa. Now, with Livingstone dead, he planned to return to complete the exploration that Livingstone had left unfinished. In particular he wanted to solve the mystery of the River Lualaba in unexplored Central Africa. Was it the headwater of the River Nile? Or could it be the eastern section of the River Congo? By the time he returned with the answer Stanley was the only white man left alive in the entire expedition.
