Henry Morton Stanley immigrated to the United States.

1858 12, he went to the American cruise ship Windermere and worked as a waiter. Later, Stanley found that the job was not worthy of the name, and he had to work on the deck. When the cruise ship arrived in New Orleans, he escaped from the ship. Then, he was unexpectedly adopted as an adopted son. According to himself, the process is like this: when he was looking for a job, he saw his future adoptive father Stanley sitting in a chair outside his grocery store. He went up to him and asked, "Sir, do you want a boy?" Did you hire anyone? ), but Stanley, who has no children or daughters, mistakenly thinks that he is asking for his own adoption. Stanley not only gave him a job, but also took him as his adopted son. John rowlands changed his name to Henry Morton Stanley. Little Stanley claimed that his adoptive father died two years later, but it was wrong. Old Stanley actually died at 1878. After immigrating to the United States, little Stanley began to integrate into the local society and changed his local accent.

In desperation, Stanley got involved in the American Civil War. 1862, he participated in the Battle of Shiloh as a federal soldier. After being defeated and captured, he joined the Union Army at Camp Douglas, Illinois on June 4, 1982. At this time, he suddenly fell ill and rested for 18 days, so he didn't really serve. After his recovery, Stanley worked on several merchant ships. 1864 joined the federal navy in July, worked as a recorder in Minnesota, and began to move towards journalism. 1865 February 10, Stanley and his comrades-in-arms disembarked in New Hampshire to seek excitement. Stanley may be the only one who joined the Union Army, the Union Army and the Union Navy successively.

After the civil war, Stanley began to work in journalism. He organized a team to interview the Ottoman Empire. The trip ended with Stanley being imprisoned. However, he was later released and received compensation for the lost equipment.

1867 Samuel F. Tappan, a member of the Indian Peace Commission, hired Stanley to report the findings of the Commission in several newspapers. James Gordon Bennett Sr, the founder of The New York Herald, admired him very much. He thinks that his experience is different and his writing is straightforward. Bennett therefore hired Stanley as the exclusive reporter of the newspaper. Stanley recorded what he saw and heard during this period in his work My Early Travel and Adventures in America and Asia. After becoming a reporter for The Herald, he was sent to Africa to look for David Livingstone, a long-lost English missionary and explorer. Stanley asked Bennett's son, James Gordon Bennett Jr., how much money he had, and he got the answer: "Take 1 000 now, take 1 000 when you are finished, and take 1 000 when you are finished. Prior to this, Stanley lobbied his employer for several years and sent him to carry out this task that might lead to fame and fortune.
