Today Is...Henry Morton Stanley Locates Explorer Dr Livingstone

Dr Livingstone was an avid reader of religious and explorer texts as a kid and became a missionary and was persuaded that the heathen African's needed saving so off he sailed off to South Africa and set up a missionary and got immediately attacked by a lion but the African's didn't seem that bothered about learning about God so he decided as he was there he may as map the African rivers instead.
With the help of some African guides, he set off down the Zambezi and discovered a waterfall which the locals called the Mosi-oa-Tunya (the smoke that thunders") but he kindly renamed it Victoria Falls after Queen Victoria for them. Despite almost dying from a fever and suffering almost daily attacks from spear chucking African tribes, he eventually reached the Indian Ocean, having mapped most of the course of the Zambezi and returned to Britain a hero and wrote up his story with an artistic flourish and the Royal Geographical Society presented him with their gold medal and if he had just stopped there he would have been both rich and famous but he had the explorers itch and not just from the lice.
He set off on another expedition to Zanzibar to find the source of the River Nile and upon arrival he was extremely ill and was saved by Arab traders who gave him medicines and carried him to an Arab outpost where he caught pneumonia and Cholera and the guides he hired decided that they weren't as curious as him where the Nile started and nicked off with all his supplies.
Undeterred, he set off alone mapping out rivers and marshes and fending off every disease the jungle could throw at him when he found a tribe who weren't used to seeing too many white people and offered to feed him if he sat in a roped-off enclosure for the entertainment of the locals.
Years later rumours reached back home that a white man was seen in the African jungle and another explorer, Henry Morton Stanley, went looking for him and finally found him crippled with dysentery and he greeted him with 'Dr Livingstone, I presume?'
That phrase became famous but no so much the answer which i assume was something like 'I don't suppose you bought any toilet roll did you?
Most accounts end this story here as he refused the rescue and wandered back into the jungle where he promptly died of malaria which is why they usually leave that part out.
