Death doesn't mean end for some heroes' stories
1992
Not all dead British heroes are controversial, but there does seem at least a faint tendency here to exalt the greater failures. Take the Royal Geographic Society. During its history it has fostered men of stunning achievement; men such as Charles Darwin. But outside its headquarters near Hyde Park only two images adorn the walls: those of Robert Falcon Scott and David Livingstone. David Livingstone made major discoveries in Africa (the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls) but became more famous for having been \"found\" by Henry Morton Stanley. Actually, Livingstone was not lost when Stanley encountered him at Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika in October, 1871, just broke. Stanley followed the river for him and what he found was that Livingstone had been wrong: the Lualaba joined the Congo, not the Nile. This took him to the Atlantic, and thus Stanley became the first explorer to make the East-to-West trek across Africa.
