My Life With Stanley�������s Rear Guard is a memoir written by Herbert Ward and first published in 1891. The book recounts Ward's experiences as a member of the Rear Guard during the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition of 1887-1889, led by the famous explorer Henry Morton Stanley. The Rear Guard was responsible for protecting the expedition's rear flank as it made its way through the dangerous and often hostile terrain of Central Africa. Ward's memoir provides a vivid and detailed account of the challenges and hardships faced by the Rear Guard, including encounters with hostile tribes, disease, hunger, and exhaustion. He also describes the personalities and leadership styles of the expedition's key figures, including Stanley himself, and offers insights into the political and cultural context of the time. In addition to its historical significance, My Life With Stanley�������s Rear Guard is also notable for its literary style. Ward was a skilled artist and writer, and his memoir is filled with vivid descriptions of the African landscape and its people, as well as reflections on the nature of exploration and adventure. Overall, My Life With Stanley�������s Rear Guard is a fascinating and engaging memoir that offers a unique perspective on one of the most famous expeditions of the 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of exploration, African culture and history, or the art of memoir writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
