"Through the Dark Continent, Vol. 2" by Henry Morton Stanley is a travel narrative published in 1878. Stanley recounts his epic 1874-1877 expedition across Central Africa, covering 7,000 miles from Zanzibar to the Congo's mouth. His journey aimed to resolve geographic mysteries: exploring Lakes Victoria, Albert, and Tanganyika, and tracing the Lualaba River. Stanley sought to answer whether these waterways connected to the Nile, ultimately proving the Lualaba was actually the Congo'ssource—a discovery that redrew Africa's map.
