Through the Dark Continent: Henry Morton Stanley and the Exploration of Africa with Andy Jampoler

Henry Morton Stanley’s successful search in 1871 for the Scottish medical missionary, David Livingstone, was a newspaper circulation-building caper funded by the NY Herald’s publisher. Its brilliant success, Stanley’s subsequent bold trek east to west across Central Africa in 1874-77, and his later services to Leopold II made him famous, and thrust Africa indelibly into the consciousness of the western world. Andrew Jampoler, who has been writing full time for more than twenty years, is an amazing storyteller who has given illustrated presentations on his books and magazine articles, and other expeditions and adventures at sea, to audiences at the Library of Congress, the National Archives, in museums and embassies, at libraries and book stores, and aboard cruise ships around the world – remember those? He is an alumnus of Columbia College and of the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University, in New York City, and of the US State Department Foreign Service Institute’s School of Language Study. During more than twenty years on active duty with the US Navy, Jampoler, a naval aviator who flew Lockheed P-3 airplanes in search of submarines, also commanded a land-based maritime patrol aircraft squadron and an air station. Later he was a senior sales and marketing executive in the international aerospace industry.
