November 10

In 1869, Sir Henry Morton Stanley was hired by the New York Herald to locate Scottish explorer David Livingston. On the 10th in 1871, he finally found Livingston near Lake Tanganyika and uttered the very famous line “Dr. Livingston, I presume.” There is no reliable evidence to suggest that Livingston responded by stating, “I’ve seen butterflies galore, I’ve seen people big and small and I’ve still not found what I’m looking for.”
