 | | Sir Henry Morton Stanley (also known as Bula Matari (Breaker of Rocks) in Congo), born John Rowlands (January 28, 1841 – May 10, 1904), was a 19th-century Welsh-born American journalist and explorer famous for his exploration of Africa and his search for David Livingstone. |
 | | He was born in Denbigh, Denbighshire, Wales; his parents were unmarried, and he was brought up in a workhouse (now HM Stanley Hospital, St Asaph). |
 | | Despite Stanley's efforts, the facts gradually emerged: his opinion was that "the savage only respects force, power, boldness, and decision." Stanley would eventually be held responsible for a number of deaths and was indirectly responsible for helping establish the rule of King Léopold over the Congo Free State. |
