Stanley's adventure novel for boys based loosely on the personal history of his young protégé, Kalulu. It is a romance based upon knowledge acquired during his journey in search of Dr. Livingstone, which began in 1871 and terminated in 1872. The book was written after the failure of his first lecture tour to America in 1872, and is dedicated to all those who have aided to the suppression of slavery on the east coast of Africa. The people and places, the geography and cartography are correct. Everything written within is possible, nay, much of the book contains facts which Stanley witnessed himself, or which had come to his knowledge.
