AKA John Rowlands
Welsh-American journalist, explorer, soldier, colonial administrator, author and politician who was famous for his exploration of central Africa.
Stanley was accused of indiscriminate cruelty against Africans by contemporaries, which included men who served under him or otherwise had first-hand information.
Stanley himself acknowledged, "Many people have called me hard, but they are always those whose presence a field of work could best dispense with, and whose nobility is too nice to be stained with toil".
