Stanley’s White Companions and a Lost Pony Tale
An article excerpts Stanley’s two English companions Francis and Edward Pocock and Frederick Barker, praised in letters as loyal friends who perished serving duty near Victoria Nyanza. It also recalls a Joplin Missouri shaft incident where a lost pony was found after twenty days and exposed to hardship, including hair and flesh loss, with attempts to revive it and remarks on pest control with potato bugs.
