First Edition, first printing; Henry Morton Stanley is most well-known for finding David Livingstone in 1871, where he is credited with the famous phrase, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?". The books is dedicated to "all those who have aided in the suppression of slavery on the East Coast of Africa.
Ndugu M'Hali, renamed Kalulu by Henry Morton Stanley, was a young Tanzanian boy given to the explorer as a slave during his search for David Livingstone. Kalulu became Stanley's close companion, receiving an education in London and accompanying him on travels across continents. He inspired this 1873 novel, "My Kalulu, Prince, King, and Slave," and tragically died during a Congo expedition in 1877, prompting Stanley to name the Lualaba River's rapids "Kalulu Falls" in his memory.
