Scope and Contents note:

Relates to the conversation Glave had with Herbert Ward, traveler, artist and member of the Rear Guard, relating to the Rear Guard and Major Barttelot's conduct. "I, not having been an officer of that expedition, could say nothing from personal experience, but the spirit of Ward's conversation at all times, condemned Major Barttelot's mismanagement at Yambuya-- his harsh inhuman treatment of the Zanzibaris & Soudanes, who were lashed up and flogged for the feeblest offence, his inconsistent, high-handed and tactless dealings with Tippu Tib & his tyrannical behavior to the other white officers of the Rear Column were often mentioned."

General note:

Witnessed by Ritchie and Pond.

Scope and Contents note:

In his book In Darkest Africa, Stanley says "Sali, my boy, is the cleverest spy in the camp. How he obtains his information I do not know .... He is in the counsels of the captain ..... Of course he has many subordinate informers to assist." Sali's testimony regards the conduct of the naturalist and traveler James Sligo Jameson and Major Edmund Musgrave Barttelot, and the decline of the Rear Guard.

General note:

Signed by Glave, and witnessed by John B. Ritchie and Major James B. Pond, the famous lecture manager who managed Stanley's lecture tours. Leaves written on one side only.

Scope and Contents note:

Glave asks Pond how he is doing and tells him he expects to be back in the States in the spring of 1895 "if my breath is not cut off at the meter.... I must say, I am not dead in love with Africa, I believe I could worry along allright (sic) in civilization without a return trip to the country..."

General note:

Incidentally, Stanley wrote Glave's mother on 21 June 1895 an 8 page letter containing a eulogy on the occasion of Glave's death.

Scope and Contents note:

Manuscript and printed textual material, photographic prints and negatives, slides, audio tapes, film, original and reproduction artwork, maps, scrapbooks, and historical and natural artifacts related to the history of African exploration and natural history, dating primarily from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Includes correspondence, drafts of publications, diaries, account books, ephemera, posters, newsclippings, biographies, memoirs, portraits, and the former personal property of selected explorers, big game hunters, missionaries, pioneers, and naturalists in Africa. The Train Collection is particularly strong in archival materials on the following topics: the search for the source of the Nile and the progress of other exploring expeditions in Africa; the collecting of specimens of African animals, plants, and ethnological materials for zoos and museums (including a significant body of correspondence and photographs from the Smithsonian African Expedition in 1909-1910, led by President Theodore Roosevelt); and the growth of the African wildlife conservation movement. Besides Roosevelt, the major persons represented in the Collection include the journalist and explorer Henry Morton Stanley and members of his Emin Pasha Relief Expedition (Thomas Heazle Parke, Robert H.
