Henry Morton Stanley was a journalist who was commissioned by the New York Herald to try to determine the whereabouts of missing explorer David Livingstone, somewhere in Central Africa. Stanley's eight-month search brought him to Ujiji, where he finally found Livingstone. The two traveled together for the next year or so, and when Livingstone died in 1873, Stanley continued the exploration they had done together.
He spent three years measuring the lakes of Central Africa, discovered the source of the Nile River and helped to establish the area of Congo Free State, setting up nearly two dozen trading posts along the river of the Congo River Basin.
